I think the goal is a bit too lofty. What Nintendo has to do to accomplish this goal is make third party developers more successful on their platform. That means Nintendo will need to revamp its marketing. They will also need to provide financial incentive to third party titles to prove the concept. They will need to develop a core mature lineup.
Right now I do not see Nintendo pushing the console as more then a family/casual console. Further more I do not see Nintendo offering to fund third party development, and I do not see Nintendo churning out new mature franchises. All of these would be counter to precedent and their corporate culture.
Doing the things necessary wouldn't even be prohibitively expensive. Building at least a few mature franchises is something Nintendo absolutely needs to do regardless. They need to avoid getting relabeled the kiddie console. They need to maintain a core demographic regardless. They need to start developing procedures for procuring high end third party exclusives regardless. So it is not like it would be money that Nintendo would not have to spend. I am just not counting on Nintendo knowing it has to spend the money or for them to even see the need.
