On a serious note:No

Not only are you wrong about them selling bad, and there are several cases that proves you wrong(Monster Hunter, Bloodborne, Souls Series, Resident Evil, Final Fantasy, Persona 5(most likely),Nintendo games in general, Metal Gear Solid 5,and so on), but making the same franchises for smartphones wont necessarely make them sell more or more popular.

So yeah..... bad idea.

You have to factor in how much they spent making these games and how much time was put into it. Capcom was very dissapointed in resident evil 6 sales and FF lightning returns sales was mediocre. Those games are on a huge decline just like Street fighter.  Even Konami the makers of MGS5 are leaving the console industry for mobile. 

Final Fantasy Lightning Return, is a Spin-off, the game must sell like a Spin-off, Resident Evil 6, sold Multiple Millions of units,  Capcom, tried to make it like Call of Duty, and they failed, Street Fighter, isn't in Decline, the game was launched in-complete, the Last was a Return from 1 Generation of Hiatus plus Multiple Versions of Street Fighter IV, hurted the Sales.

Metal Gear Solid V, sold more than 6 Millions of units, i think that it sold even more than The Witcher 3, Konami's New CEO, does not like Games, he Hate Games, and he will focus in anything that will bring money, with minor efforts, if making Ice Cream, will bring more money with minor efforts for Konami, he will make it.
