What will Nintendo do if NX fails? Keep making consoles? Go third party? Make mobile games? Anything else?

Stay in handheld and mobile. Sad, Zelda will never again hit the big screen.

There are too many things to take into account. They probably would just keep making consoles.

Bet with bluedawgs: I say Switch will outsell PS4 in 2018, he says PS4 will outsell Switch. He's now permabanned, but the bet will remain in my sig.

Focus more on handhelds, mobile, and amiibo.

"Just for comparison Uncharted 4 was 20x bigger than Splatoon 2. This shows the huge difference between Sony's first-party games and Nintendo's first-party games."

They'd probably give it one more go around. But I don't think they'll abandon the home console market if the NX flops. But you can never know with Nintendo.

There are a ton of factors to take into account, the first one being what the NX actually is. If it's the home console part of the Fusion platform, Nintendo wil limit themselves to handhelds and mobiles, making some sort of Nintendo TV (some device like the PS TV) to stream their handheld games on the big screen and play older titles digitally.
