They haven't sold 100 million units of hardware this generation. That means they expect a lot of people to engage through smartphones.

Seems ambitious, but considering the install base of mobile titles, and the interactivity between platforms, it might not be as off the wall as it seems.

I was a fan of Club Nintendo. Got a lot of stuff from it. I'll consider signing up. However, do they truly think they can reach 100 Million? I'm pretty sure they don't even have that many fans...
