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.

That's another thing. They always stretch themselves so thiiiin by the end of their projects. It was the same with 13 Sentinels. Thank goodness it was hit because ooooooh boy, I fear at what would've happened to Unicorn Overlord .... 

Seems so far like they'll be able to continue on their next project afterall, but it's evident that an eventual PC release of the game and their back catalogue would definitely help alleviate their financial woes.
