Well the image they showed at the presentation implied cross platform playability.
Suggests to me they're looking to maximise accessibility of some of their software (hence PC as well). Then hope that fans of that software, will naturally also want to migrate to dedicated Nintendo hardware. This also fits in with Iwata's comments in recent months.
If that software is still coming to Nintendo consoles, it's not "spreading resources" away from that platform. Infact, if anything, they're coming to a point of unifying meaning their resources will be more concentrated than before. The cross platform compatability of modern game engines means cross platform effort is a lot more minimal now than it ever has been.
Some of Nintendo's IP is ideally suited to this sort of cross platform set up and I think it's a welcome direction actually.

That image shows the devices that will use Nintendo's new account system.

Well, if they don't put their mobile content (especially if it's the micro transaction F2P stuff) on their dedicated systems too. Then that would just beggar belief.
I'm still going to suggest it implies that they are looking at cross format. If it doesn't fair enough, but we have limited information, and I'm pretty sure they haven't confirmed that they won't be doing this. If they have, I apologise.
