Imagine if at some point of this year Nintendo out of nowhere decided to acquire enough developer teams as to pump games to Wii U on an almost monthly basis. Not this year, but mid-2015 and onwards there's no more game droughts. They don't just milk Mario and Zelda, they put actual quality and unique games on almost all genres, maybe even reviving old franchises or giving them new twists (Starfox third-person shooter adventure, maybe? I don't know, user your imagination!)
Not saying this is possible or that it will happen at all. Just a "what if" scenario that I'd like people to discuss. Obviously, you have to completely ignore the reasons of why this is impossible (Dev teams too expensive or stuff like that).
IMO by doing this Nintendo would clear Wii U's name and would never require the other console's third-party support at all*. First and maybe second year have been tough for Wii U, but third year onwards it gets very hyped: Even if Wii U doesn't end up being very profitable (If at all), it will stablish a good reputation for Nintendo and their next home console will be very hyped given the fact that it will be a known fact that there won't be big game droughts. If Wii U sales increase considerably it will get the third-party support back. Nintendo might (But only MIGHT) procceed to create a stronger online infrastructure and maybe incorporate some form of achievement system (Let's face it, Gamerscore surely is a decisive factor for some people).
My explanation almost seems to imply that these resources would only be applied on Wii U, but 3DS and their next portable console obviously will also benefit this increase of first-party support and Nintendo will prioritize games equally on both consoles.
Ideal situation (Yet extremely unlikely, almost impossible, even in this imaginary scenario): After all I said happened, their next-gen home console and handheld are also the most powerful in the market, even more so than PS5/next Xbox and next PS handheld, but at the same time they make sure the internal structure of their next-gen systems are incredibly easy to develop for (A lot of first party devs + Easy development = WIN!). The concept of these new devices are somewhat similar to the rumored "Fusion" console, making them very complementary to each other and allowing their value to highly increase when you buy them both.
Then the internet would explode.
Your turn.
* They obviously would benefit them, but they won't die if they don't have it.
