The "Console Wars" Are Over

While the odds of Nintendo putting their titles on PlayStation or Xbox one day are probably less than 1%, I think it's inevitable that Nintendo will put some games on PC eventually. Even if it's not until 2035 or later. 

It will happen. 

Nobody thought that Nintendo would expand to releasing their properties on mobile and to jump into Hollywood/animation (non-gaming) either.

It'll happen small at first like probably have their own store and/or release NSO on PC under its own app (which I think will be what they will do as a result of more and more Nintendo game code gets released to the public like the Super Mario 64 and the Ocarina of Time code) like what they did with the Nintendo music app. 

It'll be a fine way to combat Nintendo emulation. It will happen eventually as management/heads of Nintendo change. They've changed so much in the past decade due to the changes, imagine the changes that will happen in the next 10 years. 

Its a win win for consumers either ways.

When Nintendo inevitably publishes some PC releases (Nintendo PC or whatever like PlayStation PC) I feel like these titles and IPs are likely to be put on first

-Bayonetta games: Nintendo published the games after the first Bayonetta but does not own them

-Xenoblade games: Nintendo didn't create Xeno to begin with, had a majority stake in Monolith years after it was founded, and didn't own it wholly until December 2024

-Mother games: Hear me out. I feel like an official way to play Mother games on PC is a match made in heaven. They're quirky RPGs that shouldn't be left only on Nintendo systems, especially since the IP has been dead for so long.

Even with the continued success of Nintendo hardware, I feel like PC is eventually going to be too tantalizing to ignore.
