Considering how much sales of Pokemon games increased after the release of Pokemon Go on mobile, it's a no brainer as to why Nintendo is doing the same with Mario.  Super Mario Run will easily be the top downloaded mobile game upon release, and this will lead to tons of youngsters asking mommy and daddy for a Nintendo console so they can get more Mario.

We don't know who exactly it was that bought those 3ds consoles and games. I think it's more likely that it was people in their late 20's who owned a gameboy and loved pokemon but then didn't buy every single pokemon game that came out in future consoles. Playing Go (and the hype around it) reminded them how much they liked it and they decided to play it again.

Is there a report from Ninty stating that it was young people who are resposnible for that increase?
