Looking for someone to blame over the whole XBLA GoldenEye fiasco? Try Nintendo! Sources within Microsoft who were very close to the project (and who also pointed us towards the above, alleged screen) have told us the game was canned not because of disagreements between the two parties, but because of Nintendo boss Satoru Iwata, who believes that, as a title which appeared on a Nintendo console, GoldenEye shouldn't be made available on a competitor's system.

Anyway, I think you're missing the point. It's not about OMG LETZ MAKE TEH MONHEY. I think it's more about Nintendo's ego and their unwillingness to help a competitor in any fashion.
Again, this is all me here but to me Nintendo views it as MS wanting to put Nintendo's game (yes, yes, it's not really Nintendo's game blah blah blah) on the 360. I think that Nintendo is too prideful for that. Also, I think it's smart buisness to with hold as much as possible from a direct competitor.
