I can tell you how they will handel it use the piles of cash they have to hire more developers and commision third parties to develop games. Oh wait they are doing that....
Pilotwings Resort was handled by Monster games a third party
The Legend of Zelda: Ocarina of Time 3D is handled by Grezzo a third party
Steel Diver was done by Vitie Inc a third party
Kid Icarus: Uprising is being developed by Project Sora founded by Nintendo in 2009
most of the big Wii games of late have been developed by third parties The Last Story, Monster Hunter Tri etc and of the few confirmed upcoming Wii games I can think of only Skyward Sword is being developed by Nintendo.

Yea I think they have enough developers to support all their platforms, especially with their habit of outsourcing games to third parties...
