And not invest millions upon millions into R&D for hardware and just make huges piles of money on software with it being available on 60 million more machines on console alone? (Not even factoring steam)

Hell fucking yes.

Too bad that Pokémon Go proves the exact opposite, namely that Nintendo is better off by continuing to make their own hardware.

Pokemon Go proves that people want to play nintendo games but don't always want the hardware.

More people played pokemon go daily on Mobile than Wii U's sold. Pokemon helped boost 3DS sales no doubt which is what I said in my first post. Making mobile games to increase profits and hardware sales is great. Going third party is even better.
