Of course, there a lot of if, but in the same way that amiibo have close to no impact on selling more wiiu's and 3DS, nor do i believe that will help the main line console of nintendo at all,  unless nintendo do a really good of marketing using those games, but nintendo does good marketing?


Their goal here isn't to sell more Wii Us and 3DS from this, it is to make them a shit ton of money, which it will.

Iwata:

"Nintendo has decided to deploy its video game business on smart devices but it is not because we have lost passion or vision for the business of dedicated video game systems. On the contrary, now that we have decided how we will make use of smart devices, we have come to hold an even stronger passion and vision for the dedicated video game system business than ever before. Nintendo has made this decision because we have concluded that the approach of making use of smart devices is a rational way for us to encourage even more people around the world to recognize the great value of the wonderful game software available on our dedicated game systems." http://www.nintendo.co.jp/corporate/release/en/2015/150317/03.html

That says to me they're using the mobile strategy to boost the console hardware and software.
