...In my opinion, the timing of Nintendo's sales is not necessarily the same as when we receive royalties (IF we r even in it). They would have manufactured units before releasing them for sale to people, meaning royalties are rather based on production rather than actual sales.
So if they build 100,000 units, we should get paid for 100,000 units not how many they sell to individuals.
That said, my main point was that we are probably not involved in this because there is nothing concrete linking us to it maybe other than being a partner of one of Nintendo’s many partners...
I hope I am wrong...
IMO only...
We're going around in circles, but royalties are usually paid on products sold, not made.
Again, we don't know the royalty structure, so anything said, is just speculation, but your opinion, isn't "usually" how things work.
Also, I think you are underestimating MegaChip's relationship with Nintendo.
Nintendo is a major customer of theirs and there is more than a passing possibility, that the original licence, was taken out with them in mind.
From the original strategic partnership release.
BrainChip: MegaChips has licensed Akida™ IP to enhance + grow its technology positioning for next-generation, Edge-based AI solutions.
brainchip.com
"By partnering with BrainChip, MegaChips is able to quickly and easily maintain its industry innovator status by supplying solutions and applications that leverage the Akida revolutionary technology in markets such as automotive, IoT, cameras, gaming and industrial robotics".
(emphasis mine)
That is getting close to 3 and a half years now, which would work out as an appropriate development time frame, so us being in the Switch 2, is not "Pie in the Sky" hope.
