How is one game selling 5 million on a handheld that has sold 55 million world-wide indicative of the immense popularity of the Mii? Seriously. How?
How do you know that any of those sales were affected by the inclusion of the Mii?

The only thing that is hilarious here is the continued cognitive dissonance Nintendo diehards continue to show.

I don't even think that's really it. There just aren't any massively successful social platform that uses avatars. Having one that does is a huge differenciting factor, and could function like personalized emogis.

It's a game solely devoted to interacting with Miis and placing them in all sorts of scenarios unlike the other titles and it sold 4m WW more then the majority of games today can sniff at, that flat out tells you Miis have an impact. Go watch videos of the game Miis and their interactions are the draw for the title.

No, It's a game solely devoted to interacting with generic characters that so happen to be Miis and placing them in all sorts of scenarios . Do you have any evidence that the game's main draw was the fact that you had an opportunity to use your Mii as opposed to any other generic character creator?

How is your logic any different than saying that the Khajiit are immensely popular characters because Skyrim sold over 18 million copies world wide? Would anyone say that Raiden is obviously a popular character because MGS2 sold 6 million copies world wide? No. Of course not.  Conversely, if Miis are so popular why did Wii Sports Club for the Wii U sell so terribly, people love playing with their Miis right?

The logic here is so flawed. For all we know the game sold well despite the fact that it used Miis.

I understand that Miis are Nintendo characters, maybe I should've expanded more. So Miis were a huge deal. A really huge deal! But that was almost 10 years ago. Something like Miitomo would've been a good idea about 5 years ago. Look at sales data for games mainly involving Miis this gen. Wii Sports Club sold terribly. I know Tomodatchi Life did pretty well but not gangbusters. And it seems as if people really don't like the Wii U menu's focus on Miis (no data to support this, just my estimation). Basically, it doesn't seems as though Miis are a big deal anymore, and while they are recognizable, it doesn't seems to be in a good way. I'm worried that when people see someone playing with a Mii on their phone it's simply going to be met with derision and nothing else. 

Also, didn't Iwata or some big wig at Nintendo explicitly state that the goal of mobile games was to attract more people to their dedicated hardware? Am I misremembering?

When you see the huge success of Tomodachi Life and Line, yes, it's definitely a great idea.

The only flawed logic is the one you're employing to feed your denial, the are no generic characters in TL, you create a Mii that represents yourself and even give it a voice, you can even import Miis from other devices. The entire game is centred on throwing your avatar in antics and interaction, how do I know that's the draw of game? That's all you do in it that's how I know, the game is built around Miis it's the sequel to Tomodachi Collection, as more Miis cross paths more situations arise. Your argument flat out tells me you know little of the game you're trying to argue.

Arguing that's not the draw of the game is like arguing fans of horror games don't buy their games for horror.

It's not a game and remember that Nintendo stated that they'd make apps that would entice the "players" to their consoles. I don't think this will work but it is what Nintendo planned. Hopefully, Nintendo has plans to make actual games in the future but if this one is delayed and the 5 "game" plan expires in 2017...what could they be doing? Hopefully, they're taking the time to make actually good mobile gaming apps and join the ranks of the other companies that are raking in the cash just by porting and "remastering" old games. I just don't get Nintendo sometimes. The stupid QOL initiative, now Miitomo or whatever it's called. Just make games Nintendo. Everyone else in your industry is making groundbreaking games...I think you should follow their lead. Okay, that last part was out of shear disappointment from Nintendo. Like...what the hell are they doing over there?

They will release F-Zero for mobiles.

Maybe even Fire Emblem.

Prediction: Nintendo will not have 5 smartphone games released by March 2017 as they have stated. I know, it's bold.
