It's good to see Nintendo expanding, no longer will the company 100% rely on their dedicated platforms to get them by in tough times.

Quality of Life
Games/apps for Smart Devices
Amiibo
IP licensing (things like rumored Mario CG movie or Zelda Netflix series)

All of these things bringing in steady profits for Nintendo will help alot in the future. Just making dedicated hardware/software is a tough market, everything is great when u make huge hits like Wii/DS but if u slip up and end up with Wii U/3DS, things aren't nearly as peachy and having new sources of revenue certainly will help during the tough times.

Good for stock holders, worried about nintendo profits.

Bad for gamers that like nintendo makeing consol games, because it sounds like your saying their going to swift focus and spend LESS time makeing games.
