We are talking about a company that has made "gaming products" out of gyros, scales, bongos, pedometers, IR cameras and so on. Now I doubt it's the pebble, it was just a stab in the dark... but it's not that crazy. Also for a company like that $200mill would be about the sort of ballpark figure.

Also it's a smart watch, not a watch. There are plenty of potential gaming related applications for that sort of thing.

A type of Smart Watch, possibly for exercise/gaming/NFC/others, would be interesting coming from Nintendo
