Yeah Japanese developers have largely embraced the platform now. Other than the obvious exception of Nintendo there's really not many notable ones left not releasing there. Vanillaware is one that still isn't but they're bound to start doing so at some point if they're releasing on Xbox now.

Vannillaware has a weird policy about the PC platform but nonetheless, it is their choice if they do not want to do it. They are just a team of approx. 40 workers that can output 2/3 games a decade. 

Porting to PC would be the most budget intensive and QA consuming time of the bunch whilst being limited in resources to do so.

From what we know they refused Atlus offer for a budget to a PC port but unknown are the reasons why ...

Anyway, as for Overlord Unicorn sales, I don't think they'll have to be afraid of a poor result on consoles yet 

Atlus have apologized for stock shortages of Unicorn Overlord in Japan!

Many retailers are out of stock due to high demand. Altus are grateful the game has been well received and apologize to their customers. They are currently shipping more copies!https://t.co/CTgmcYh6eZ pic.twitter.com/DUL3Qd5FX9

Hopefully Unicorn Overlord is successful enough for them to gain enough resources to port to PC. Since they've ran out of money multiple times it would really benefit them in the long term.
