First, we should take into account that the Switch is a consolidation of Nintendo's home console and handheld divisions, which means that their dev teams won't be split between supporting two platforms, and therefore the Switch will receive more software by principle.

Secondly, if Nintendo were to go this route then I think it would be smarter of them to build and cultivate new talent from the ground up as opposed to buying out or copping exclusives from established development teams. These teams would be Nintendo's protegees so-to-speak, that would learn and take cues from Nintendo's unique development style, ethos, and work ethic. Many studios don't operate like Nintendo, and if Nintendo were to buy these companies then it would simply lead to conflict down the line.
