They should be fine. Why don't we ask this question about the other two going multiplatform?

On the one hand, they kind of have.  They often want Halo on PS3/Uncharted on Xbox.  They do talk about it, I think they actually have said that they'd be up for it.  Nintendo is different though, they make games that few others do.  Plenty of studios make FPS games, few make games like Pokemon, or as classic/timeless as Mario.  

MS and Sony are kind of doing this.  MS has published games on portables, phones.  Sony recently had the PlayStation All Stars in iOS, even though they didn't really have anything to do with it.  They are having a hand in other systems, unlike Nintendo.  MS has one android game published by them, yet they have nothing to do with Android and everything to do with Windows phones.  

Nintendo doesn't need to get games onto other platforms but put non gmaing apps like Nintendo Network and eshop on phones.
