Nintendo's company strategy is a straightforward Blue ocean strategy or to compete in a marker where there is no or very little competition, as it targets the non gamers.
Nintendo follows a very conservative business model wherein it attracts new game developers for updating its technologies. It is mostly concerned about cutting costs for customers and reducing its own game development costs.
A distinctive feature about Nintendo is that they just don't redevelop games just for the sake of it or because they have the means. They normally try to improve R&D for enhancing a game.
