This isn't even new for Nintendo. They get a large portion of the revenue from Pokémon Go (somewhere around 20%). The profit from that alone for Nintendo is probably north of $1 billion.

Much of that revenue likely comes from players buying egg incubators and raid passes, which both are essentially pay-to-win gambling. And just like Mario Kart Tour, there are hard caps on how much can be done per day without paying.
