Iwata said something along the lines of when Nintendo stops making videogame hardware, they'll stop making videogames period. And they won't ever commit to a format they can't retain control over, they consider hardware a means to an end and working on someone else's hardware would provide fundamental obstacles to their internal development process and culture.
Sega, Hudson and SNK's falls from grace when moving out of hardware paint a pretty cautionary tale...
