Pokemon Go caused 3DS hardware & software sales to increase so its possible that their other mobile offerings can spark interest in NX.

Besides anybody who thinks Super Mario Run is a suitable replacement for a mainline 2D Mario on Nintendo hardware arent likely to buy the console regardless.

It's hard to know though how many people are content enough with Pokemon Go that they won't bother purchasing an NX. 

My guess is for people who are quite casual, things like Pokemon Go and Super Mario Run scratch their Nintendo itch to the point where they won't want to invest in a $250+ piece of Nintendo hardware. 

But at least now Nintendo can still make money from these people, because they weren't buying a Wii U and huge decreases of them going from DS to 3DS as well. 

Like i said, anybody who thinks Pokemon GO or Super Mario Run are suitable replacements for mainline titles are unlikely to spend a few hundred dollars on Nintendo hardware in the first place.

Somebody who is strongly considering spending $200-300 on hardware for $40-60 games isnt going to change their mind because of free-to-start spinoffs with completely different play styles.
