It's based on iconic Nintendo franchises. There you have your obvious target.

What it is based into and where would it be better to it to go are two completely different things.
Why wasn't this a Nintendo exclusive game to begin with, then?
I understand the inspirations, but that doesn't mean a thing to the business side of it, though.
PlayStation is a way better target to both indie and RPG games to follow, they have bigger chances of comercial success there.
That's about it.

Why isn't it a PS exclusive? ;) PC has the biggest userbase for cheap indie games.

There's more to a game's sales than userbase. Hence why Splatoon is selling better than most Sony exclusives on the PS4. Developers like Shinen have also had more success on Nintendo consoles than on PS consoles (Fast Racing Neo being their fastest selling game to date, a game obviously inspired by Fzero). Shovel Knight is also more succesful on Nintendo consoles because it's a 2D sidescroller reminiscent of SNES games. I wouldn't be surprised of Shantae: Half Genie Hero sold more on Wii U than on PS4 as well. And indie developers can reach out to Nintendo for amiibo, another big potential source of income that doesn't exist on PS4.
