On top of revealing that Fire Emblem Heroes has more paid players than Super Mario Run, Nintendo's recent shareholder Q&A session also provided some interesting information about Nintendo's approach to the PC games market, with Nintendo saying that they aren't considering entering it anytime soon.

"We are aware that many consumers play PC games," president Tatsumi Kimishima said when asked about the growth of the PC market. "However, we believe that the integrated hardware-software business is the best way for us to provide the surprises and new gameplay experiences that we want to achieve."

"On the other hand, we offered three applications for smart devices during the previous fiscal year, and, though the content and consumers playing the applications were different, each one was received extremely favourably."

Could we eventually see them enter the PC market one day?
