Where did I say they had to stop supporting console games?  Why do people always negatively make this assumption?  

 

I said shift their focus because their focus has not been on mobile for a long time and it still isn't (only 1 major game).  

 

They need to shift their focus and embrace mobile for maximum profits.  Nothing stopping them in the console space like they've always been. 

Shifting focus implies that less attention will be paid to their consoles & software in favor of mobile. Nintendo wants to use mobile as a way to drive interest of their dedicated platforms, so there is no need for this shift.

This may have been the initial plan, but I think it will need to be ammended a bit. Mobile could soon be the majority money maker for Nintendo, it's only logical that it get attention and care from Nintendo for its own merits because it's a huge money maker for them. 

Still Nintendo's balanced this stuff before, it's not like the success of Brain Training and Wii Sports meant no more traditional Mario or Zelda or Metroid (though E3 2008 with Wii Music was teetering on vomit-worthy).
