Google also takes 30% for purchases, so you're talking about $6.

No, just $3 for the Android purchases. Since it was made on another platform, Apple doesn't get a cut.

So you say, but that's not how it would work (or how it works) in the real world.

I'm confused, could you elaborate?

I thought the way it worked is: - User buys game on 3DS, links to their Nintendo account, can play on 3DS, iOS, and Android. Nintendo gets $10. - User buys game on iOS, links to their Nintendo account, can play on 3DS, iOS, and Android. Apple gets $3, Nintendo gets $7 - User buys game on Android, links to their Nintendo account, can play on 3DS, iOS, and Android. Google gets $3, Nintendo gets $7
