I lol'd cuz it's true!

Regarding your comments about mobile revenue and the possibility that NIntendo might focus even more on mobile games on the console games expanse; the more I think about it, the less likely that seems, IF the NX is a hit or a moderate success (I'm talking like 50m HW units sold or something). Zhuge posted some interesting graphs on twitter some days ago, about Nintendo's profits. 40% came from console games and another 40% came from hardware. That's 80% of the total revenue. I highly doubt that their mobile segment will over shadow that. At most it'll be an even split between their traditional revenue stream (HW+SW) and mobile, but I doubt they'll start to favour mobile over their traditional incomes.

Revune is nice, but it doesn't translate directly to profit. Of course game hardware has a high revenue, but Nintendo may make the same actual profit from a single $5 Mario Run download as they do from selling a $300 game system at near cost, even though the game system will account for 60x more revenue. 

I don't remember whether it was revenue or profit... Maybe it's just me hoping Nintendo won't turn their backs on traditional videogames

I'm on Twitter @DanneSandin!

Furthermore, I think VGChartz should add a "Like"-button.
