So no one is going to mention that Nintendo's IP is now no longer tied to its own platforms?

Just look how much profit Nintendo had from Pokemon Go or the growth of its smart device segment with the release of Fire Emblem Heroes.

I'd argue that Nintendo's IP is reaching more than ever before.

In general I see more players experiencing Nintendo's IP, higher margins and higher profits than the Wii U/3DS gen. 

So, are the billions of smartphones now part of the userbase?
