Actually I do think it could be the future, but not in a good way (even for Nintendo). 

As smartphone chips get more and more powerful I think a some point they're going to reach a point of graphical fidelity which is "good enough" for most people (probably right around PS4 levels of visuals). 

Once that happens a hardware manufacturer will have a light bulb go off in their head, and basically you won't really need a home console anymore. Just sync your phone to your smart TV, have a Bluetooth gamepad handy, and voila ... you'll be able to play fairly high end games. 

Dedicated PC HW will remain more powerful than mobile HW for the foreseeable future. When a phone can run AAA games like consoles, than we can start talking.

We're talking more about "when" though, not so much "if". We know mobile chips increase in power every year by a good amount at that.
