Amazon shows a very significant rise in several pokemon titles, very likely because of the rise in popularity of pokemon Go - more surprsingly, also a rise in the sales of 3DS units.
This should silence anyone that thought Nintendo to be canibalizing on their deicated systems with the move to Mobile.
This is why I believe the recent rise in share prices to be justified - Not only is Nintendo showing themselves capable of capitalizing the strength of their IPs to make money with mobile games ( https://thinkgaming.com/app-sales-data/ , https://thinkgaming.com/app-sales-data/device/gplay/country/us/date/2016-07-11/group/day/ - 1rst in Google Play is new, by the way) but also an ability to use the mobile platform to further strengthen their intellectual property. https://www.amazon.com/gp/movers-and-shakers/videogames/ref=zg_bs_tab_t_bsms/183-6962739-7099936 , a copy of the day, since it changes constantly.
