Fair enough. I agree that at this point it's is a wait and see game. I just can't help but wonder what Nintendo will be thinking a few years down the road if most of their big franchises are runaway successes and money printing machines on mobile like Pokemon Go, especially if NX doesn't sell that well and the software on it barely makes them much profit with all the hard work put into them compared to mobile where games are so much simpler to make both financially and technically. With they feel so inclined to invest big on console titles when they've tasted the massive easy money on mobile? Nintendo unlike other developers on mobile already has generations worth of brand recognition to easily have their titles be noticed on smartphones, so they're not going to get lost in the shuffle of the mobile market that most small developers succumb to. |
Nintendo is in this industry for the long run. It might seem like mobiles is the big thing for them right now, but if they keep on doing smaller and easy to make games for it and stop making the bigger games, then their franchises will suffer. I just dont see a company with that kind of talent and legacy throwing it all away for a few years of some big bucks.
