Nintendo will become obsolete

Nah, Nintendo is not leaving the hardware space.They know very well that what gives their good reputation is the actual games made for consoles, and thus leaving it behind would be a big mistake.I mean, lets say Nintendo went full mobile today.Short term speaking, they would amass a gigantic fortune, there is no doubt about it.But in the long term they would just lose influence and their IPs would suffer for it, since the games they make for mobile would be more of "mini games" rather than full fledged games, they would lose their fanbase and as we all know casuals are fickle.Not only that, Nintendo would eventually lose the reputation of making excellent games and well, one thing will led to another.

As I already said on other posts, the best would be to release a mobile game here and there, once every 6 months in my opinion so that you dont flood the market and make the launch an special ocassion every time it happens, and keep their focus on the dedicated market.That would be for the best.

Don't think Nintendo's shareholders will share that POV though. 

Clearly there is mounting evidence that Nintendo's IPs if anything have been held back by their hardware from reaching a wider audience. 

There's a lot of pressure now on NX to be a big hit, otherwise it will become an open question. 

Well, thats going to be the biggest challenge.The NX will certainly be really important for the future of the company whatever the result, but as long as the NX dosent crash and burn(be worse than Wii U for example), I dont think Nintendo will listen to the investors woes of going full mobile.I mean, they didnt do that in the past and to calm them, Nintendo will launch one or another mobile game.So I think we will be good for the foreseeable future.

Plus I dont think NX will fail, so I have that source of optimism!
