Very interesting thread and a very good point!

It can be argued that Nintendo would sell a shit ton on mobile, and while that's true for a few select franchises, the majority of their games would hardly sell anything at all. Only a few games become huge titles, and most of them are free. Angrybirds developer Rovio mostly makes their money on merchandise. They even had to lay off people quite recently. Only goes to show how hard it is to make a profit and why Nintendo just shouldn't go all out on mobile.

Yeah, but Nintendo can also sell a shit tonne on consoles as well.

Absolutely! And like I said, most of their games wouldnt sell all that well on mobile. Better to keep making console games.
