Gungho's not the first mobile developer to make a lot of money on handhelds, specifically the 3DS. Angry Birds sold far better than it should have, for example.
But I doubt Squeenix in particular is going to change course anytime soon: they've been into mobile gaming since long before it became cool in the West, and have only been sliding more and more in that direction. In light of their practices I have to wonder how successful they actually are, financially speaking, and their apparent heavy reliance on whales to keep that segment going strikes me as a dangerous long-term strategy, but I suspect they'll continue to have fewer handheld games this generation than last.
