They are porting BotW from Wii U to NX and had to delay the game. Imagine porting a PC game to other consoles.
That will rise the cost as the time in development will be more. Nintendo is a lot more conservative and skyrocket budgets is not their priority. On top of that, existing PC are a lot more than consoles and they would have reached a lot of people already combining with the mobile part. |
Their mobile games will not be the same as their pC games. So talking about their PC games, PC gamers have very different buying habits than console gamers. Console gamers are willing to buy many more games at full price than PC gamers and piracy is an issue on PC and less of an issue on consoles.
PC gamers are more in number than console gamers but many of them don't have modern specs and they buy most games when they are on sale which are not CS, GTA, Battlefield and a few big franchises.
Making a AAA game on PC might actually take longer due to optimising it for a wide range of configurations than doing that for a few configurations on consoles.
