But the main purpose of the mobile games was always to be a "gateway" to bring back the casuals they lost with the Wii and bring a newer audience that isnt familiar with Nintendo.As for the last argument, its reasonable.I mean, I am also afraid of that.But Pokemon GO showed that that not only may not happen, but its likely it will not happen.And i mean, if you manage to make 5% of the players buy a NX, its 5% of 1 billion!(extrapolating a bit here).

Now, if it will be the main driver in sales or not, we dont know.It will depend on NX success.But it will be a good chunk of the profits for sure.

Nintendo can say what they want publicly, IMO it's not an "advertisement" when it's making as much money if not more than your traditional game business. Look at Nintendo's stock ... it's exploding ... because stockholders know this app is going to make Nintendo a lot of money, that isn't about NX. 

And again we go back to how NX will end up performing.If NX ends up being Wii levels of success, or close to it, Nintendo will keep doing what it is doing, and investors will be more than happy.If NX is a success, but lets say its half the success of the Wii, it will be the same scenario, though the investors will be more pushy about mobile games.The real problem is if the NX fails, even though I personally dont think Nintendo will go ever full mobile or third party.

And I mean, if NX is revealed and its spetacular, Nintendo stock will go up too, because the ijnvestors will have confidence in Nintendo, in part due to the mobile games, and the results that Pokemon Go had on the main business.
