A resurgence for Pokemon, NX on the way and sounding damn fine, Zelda Breath of the Wild looking to be a masterpiece, an already successful venture into the mobile market with all signs pointing towards increased success, etc. Nintendo is in pretty good shape. |
That's the spirit! Don't let the optimism shake your foundations. :P
With that said...
Pokemon isn't owned by Nintendo.
Zelda will be launching on the WiiU which hasn't gained any traction at all... Nor do we know if the NX will gain any traction either, plus the WiiU is 100% proof that lots of exclusives don't sell consoles anyway, regardless of how good they might be. :P
NX is on it's way, but current pointers are pointing it to be another device which is underpowered relative to the competition and with it trying to sell itself on a gimmick, again.
Mobile devices are in decline (3DS isn't doing as well as prior handhelds.)
I'll reserve judgement for now about Nintendo's future success... But don't get me wrong, I want them to do well, competition is a good thing not just for the consumer, but for the entire industry... I just can't see it at the moment.
You just can't use Pokemon Go as a pointer to Nintendo's future success I am afraid, Pokemon has always been big and also transcends video games with it having a TV series, playable cards, toys, movies... Everything... Something other Nintendo franchises (Heck, most games in general) don't have.
