The same way the Wii ended up. It really is sad. I wish they start bringing their games to mobile. I would buy one of those adapters for my phone if it means I can play The Legend of Zelda with my phone. But I really dont see this happening anytime soon. They will release a Pokemon game on mobile but its a puzzle type game. Hopefully this will pave the way for more.
I think part of it is that for nintendo, America is really just the secondary market. Their market share in Japan is outrageously high (like 60%-70%) and so long as they keep selling in Japan, there won't be much incentive to distribute on third party hardware.
Still I feel like if their entire NA or EU markets were to disappear overnight it would hurt, and they would notice. That's a sizable pile of cash they're neglecting.
