Good to see them diversifying.
Nintendo has simply grown too large as a company to balance on two products. They're in a position now where they are facing better competition for those two products than in their entire history.
Gone are the days of needing only to fend off Sega, now they have two rival console manufacturers to tussle with, and they're both very tuned into the current videogame landscape.
And Their hand-helds are facing decent competition for the first time in ever. The Gamegear was the gamegear, and the PS Vita is the PS Vita, but mobile phones now offer a lot that appeals to exactly Nintendo's audience. Within a few years we'll have customers who grew up playing on phones and tablets instead of gameboys.
With such uncertainty in the only two landscapes Nintendo has its fingers in, it's not unthinkable that they might get a couple of flops in a row and find themselves in a nose dive they can't pull out of. They NEED to branch oout and have more business ventures to offset those potential losses.
So It's good to see them entering the mobile space and to see them trying expand into other media.
