Many problems with full ARM/Phone/Tablet gaming, most people have quite cheap phones, so making a highly graphical one will only reach a small audience, also there are 3 different OS on phones, although obviously Android is the biggest.
There is a second big thing to consider tough, the people that want Home Consoles, Gaming PC's and so on are just a different audience, and they are quite passionate. They are willing to spent MUCH more money on gaming.
Many people on smartphones buy micro transactions and so on but they would (most) not spent 60 euro and another 30 for a season pass, end of the line, a game like Fallout4, Star wars battlefront, Call of Duty, is just impossible on current handheld devices.
At the end what I am trying to say, there is just more then 1 kind of gamer, whichever Nintendo wants to reach is up to them, there will for the foreseeable future be a demand for traditional Home Consoles and Steam but if Nintendo wants to step out, they could do it. The worst thing they could do is make something that stays in the middle and doesn't appeal to either group, which is something the NX sounds like in SOME rumours.
