If Nintendo goes mobile next gen will you still follow them?

If the NX's mobile side is a handheld/gaming phone then I am 100% on board. There is no room on the market for new homeheld consoles, the next portable device from Nintendo has to be a gaming phone. If Nintendo has any hopes of capturing market then they have to steal it from somewhere.

Handheld market and mobile markets do not overlap, are not the same, and there is absolutely no way in hell Nintendo's making a successful smart phone.

They are exactly the same market, and their are dozens of companies capable of making great smartphones and succeeding in the market. Nintendo, Sony and Microsoft could all gain massive success in the battery powered, connected device segment if they ever leveraged their gaming divisions. 

The 3DS/Vita/Nvidia Sheild form factor if done right, would be part of the same ecosystem as slab phones and tablets. If Nintendo is handling the NX devices properly, they will have on of the most flexible hardware ecosystems on the market, and they are great at developing apps that are outside of the gaming relm. Nintendo is more than capable of competing with Apple and Google with their own mobile OS and applications. The only herdle they would face is 3rd party support, but if the platform is done right, that will be fixed quickly.
