I think it's obvious that Nintendo has the ability and the IP's to basically dominate the mobile market if they choose to. Personally, I'd like to see them do that while not abandoning their hardware... perhaps reintroducing some people to what amount to "samplers" on mobile might help move a few units of hardware.

Either way, it's good to see that they're doing well financially. The only concern I have is there will be ever increasing pressure by shareholders to make this their focus, especially given they've been clamoring for Nintendo to enter the mobile market for years prior to any actual successes.

Personally, I don't think they're about to top or even match this Pokemon Go success in the future, but ports of their many older games would probably still do quite well.

I'd prefer if Nintendo just stick to creating original mobile games that are tailor made for the platform while using the games as a way to reintroduce people to Nintendo games and entice them to buy their hardware, as you said.
