Nintendo has largely been a console-only company, although in recent times it seemed like the company had started to explore other options including mobile. However even then it took them a really long time to get on board, with many other developers and publishers gaining an advantage over the company because of that.

So now that console and mobile is covered, what’s next? Could Nintendo be considering making the move to PC? For those hoping to see Nintendo develop for the PC, don’t hold your breath because in a recent shareholder Q&A, Nintendo pretty much dismissed the idea that they might explore the PC market.

According to Nintendo President Tatsumi Kimishima, “We are aware that many consumers play PC games. However, we believe that the integrated hardware-software business is the best way for us to provide the surprises and new gameplay experiences that we want to achieve.”

Kimishima adds, “On the other hand, we offered three applications for smart devices during the previous fiscal year, and, though the content and consumers playing the applications were different, each one was received extremely favorably.” We guess we shouldn’t really be surprised, but just in case you had your fingers crossed, it’s probably time to uncross them.
