LOL! That's funny. Rather ridiculous. With games and consoles being their main pillar of the business, and it's still entirely profitable for them, it would make no sense for them to leave the hardware business. It's just absurd.
This is likely either dealing with their QOL platform, or a separte smart phone venture. Possibly both since they might go hand in hand. It's not like Nintendo is a sinking ship or anything like that, they are still profiting quite well from their softwear and hardware, but it would be unwise of them to no look into different expanding markets in order to stay relevant.
Every venture is risky. They would be mental to try a new direction for a new division of their company without supporting their foundation (games and consoles). That would be a move that could destroy Nintendo as a business in one fell swoop, even with the massive amounts of money they have in the bank.
What you are suggesting, would be like Star Bucks dropping coffee to bring in more pastries and start selling insurance (or something else very different from coffee).
Gotta figure out how to set these up lol.
