Nintendo will be fine. If any console maker will go third party, it will be Sony. Nintendo consoles can survive on first party alone, unlike it's competitors. Never underestimate Nintendo.

really? i've always felt like microsoft is first in line to become a 3rd party dev for several reasons but mainly because of their lack of pressence in Japan, sony is a worldwide successful company.

i do agree that nintendo has enough franchises to survive on their own, they just need to structure themselves to pump out those games quicker

Microsoft doesn't have enough first party games to be a successful third party dev, they are dependent on 3rd parties. The PS3 may be selling well, but Sony itself has been struggling and has been losing money for many years.
