IMO some of Nintendo s IP s like Starfox will end up staying alive only on mobile - it is unfortunate- I m sure a quality Starfox would have sold much better

Now that is very unlikely. I am refering to first part of your post.

Nintendo won't make mobile games of IPs that aren't present on dedicated Nintendo hardware.

You may e correct- but think of it like this-  They make a mobile Starfox game that becomes very  popular which may create demand for a full console Starfox-  I can see mobile working a variety of ways-  1) symbiotic relationship between a current console game and current mobile game of the same IP- 2) keeping older less used IP "fresh" in the minds of consumers w out the risk/expense of creating a full console game 3) a way to create demand  or get an idea of demand for particular IP's

thre are other ways to use the 2 platfroms (or 3 if handheld)  and probably some ways no one has though of yet -    

I only hope Nintendo does not get too short sighted-  IMO the biggest threat to their console brand/market is if mobile takes off big and fast-  Investors will push very hard for the lower risk and shorter term profits at the expesne of the greater risk longer term profits/brand value of the consoles
