The Switch is not another Wii U!

Pokemon Go is likely a damn expensive game to maintain. I wouldn't be surprised if Pokemon Go had already cost more than S&M did.

I doubt Super Mario Run was that much cheaper to manufacture than NSMB. You can't just go on to compare the obvious lower budget games to Nintendo's highest budget games. You could make the same games on 3DS instead of phones and tablets.

Fire Emblem is going to make more money on mobile than it does on consoles, I'm quite sure about it. 

PGO is always generating revenue and tbf if every quarter it's generating the amount that software shipments of 3m put out than that far outweighs any cost to maintain it by miles.

SMR is a simple runners game that has the Mario skin it won't cost anywhere near as much as NSMB and yes I can compare them because that's the whole point of the context, you asked a question and I gave you the answer. These games aren't on 3DS for the reason I gave you earliar.

Of course it's making more money than it takes to maintain, that's why they maintain it. I don't think Pokemon Go is making money for Nintendo a hundred million per quarter, especially when the initial excitement is over. 

SMR is a simple runner game, and it did cost less than NSMB, yes. But I think you underestimate the cost of the game and overestimate the cost of NSMB, when the latter NSMB games have just been rehashes, Nintendo obviously made them just out of leftovers from other earlier games. SMR cost less than NSMB, but I doubt it cost that much less.
