Welp, this generation is over for Nintendo and they've already got that Pokemon Go money flooding in, so if they're crying about this last generation ... they are crying all the way to the bank.

They are going to be go right back to making ungodly amounts of money over the next five years even if NX is only a middling success.

Was just watching the Easy Allies Podcast and it turns out Nintendo didn't make the game, publish it or have anything to do with it other than some licensing along with 3 other companies I.e. Nintendo isn't making much at all from Pokemon Go. 

 

The app has benefit Nintendo as people have assumed Nintendo had a lot to do with the app and they are making money. This has resulted in share prices rising, but I'm not sure they will stay that way once people start realising this and the other two games don't do well. 

We'll, if the app stays on track (no guarantee it will), it will pull in billions.  Because of Nintendo'stock partial ownership of The Pokémon Company, after all other cuts are taken Nintendo would still make hundreds of millions from Pokemon Go, enough to drastically improve their bottom line proportionate where it has been recently.  Now, they won't make billions but that doesn't mean it won't be a very successful venture for them and a strong starting point for mobile projects in the future.
