But as we've seen lately, Nintendo ISN'T making big money of consoles...

That's different from what u asked tho, if Nintendo leaves the console market it will be because it's no longer profitable for them, not because their smartphone games make more money.

That's... actually true :P I guess there's a fine line between the two options. But could you see how Nintendo wouldn't try as much with their consoles and games if the mobile side started making huge sums of money?

You have to be careful in jumping into anything that hits big. Then throwing your eggs in one basket. The Wii is a great example of that. It dried up, at some point. No matter the reason.
