While each Wii U currently sells at a loss, the console itself will eventually be cheaper to make and become profitable. And as Nintendo showed with the Gamecube era, they don't need to sell 150 million units of hardware for the hardware itself to be profitable to the company. So to give that up, no.
And to all those assuming each Nintendo developed game would suddenly be a 30 million seller if released on Microsoft and Sony consoles, just ask Ubisoft if putting Rayman Legends on PS3/360 opened the door to 30m units of software sold simply by placing it in front of a wider market.
The people who want to play Nintendo's franchises are going to buy Nintendo's console. And that's how it should be. I'm not really interested in a world where New Super Mario Bros releases on PS5 and I have to hear someone cry about a platformer costing the same about as their Call of Duty 7 even though Mario doesn't graphically look like a real person.
