What Nintendo should have done instead (in my opinion)

Its not that simple. Most people don't use their Laptops for more then the internet and text documents. On top of that Nintendo puts strong emphasis on couch experiences like MArio Kart and Smash Bros. They could obviously find a decent size audience on PC but console would be a much better fit for them and their sales. 

That is true, but the "couch experience" is close to death right now. Many people cry for more online support in Nintendo games as it's pretty rare to gather a group of friends and play some Mario Kart.

Mario Kart and Smash Bros aren't close to death though. I'm mean just look at all the top selling games on Wii U. The only incentive for them to go PC would be to avoid Royalties but consoles would much better serve their games and offer them far higher sales. Universally consoles seem the bigger market for console like experiences. PC wins with MMO's/RTS's etc and does well with western RPGs/Open world FPS but consoles are dominating that latter market lately as well. Start touching the likes of Assassins Creed, COD, blockbuster games, family games, kid games, its consolea all the way.

It just wouldn't make any sense for Nintendo to pick PC over console, their whole philosophy is at home with what consoles offer.
