Nintendo president Shuntaro Furukawa in a recent interview with Nikkei was asked what he thought about cloud gaming. He says the public could get into cloud gaming, but it likely won't happen for another 10 years. As of right now, he doesn't see dedicated gaming hardware going anywhere anytime soon.
"It’s possible that cloud gaming could capture the public’s interest in 10 years from now, however at this point in time, I do not think that dedicated hardware will go away," said Furukawa.
"It’s a long way off before we’ll really know the outcome. With that said, it would be pointless to solely focus on methods of play that can only be had on dedicated hardware. Once your audience starts saying they can play on other consoles or smartphones instead, you’re finished."

Glad that Nintendo have this attitude in comparison to the "powah of the Cloud" mentality of Stadia.
And in the next 10 years, mobile gaming would be so advanced powerwise that almost any game could be run directly in your smartphone/small device instead of in the cloud anyway.
