Not sure I get the plan with Project C.A.R.S.

Then the Wii U version would probably be the one that gets dropped, as it's most likely the most difficult port.  Also, having fewer versions by no means directly correlates with a higher level of quality.

1st party titles would like a word with you about quality.

You're talking pure supposition here.  There are plenty of high-quality third-party titles.  Developing for more than one console only takes more time.  If there is enough time, the quality can and should equal that of a single-console game.

And yet it doesn't.  Every gamer everywhere knows that the biggest titles to look forward to on any system are the 1st party titles.  There's a general and knowing expectation that it WILL be a QUALITY game, because it's FIRST party.

I get your point, and I actually AGREE that quality should not be tied to multi-platform, but because money is not infinite, it unfortunately IS tied to quality.  Sure, if a game had a 5 year development time and 100 million dollars, I'd bet it could walk right up to a first party title and say hello, but NO one would ever do that: a console's lifespan makes a 5 year development time absolutely unprofitable.
