They won't need Western developers, they'll be able to supply a pretty steady stream of software constantly for it if their dev resources aren't split between two seperate formats as they have been ever since the NES/Game Boy days.
I'm not sure if I love the idea, but at the same time I don't think Nintendo can plausibly compete with Sony/MS head on for the hardcore gamer. They just don't have it in them and they certainly don't have the leadership group that knows enough about the console market (which is pretty much now 90+% in the West) to get it done properly.
In other words, I don't think Nintendo really has much choice left. At least this way they can ensure their top games have access to the widest possible Nintendo fanbase, not like today where most Nintendo hardware sales are on 3DS, but most of their better games are stuck on Wii U and consequently won't be played by most of their fanbase.
Just crapping out a PS4 caliber console in 2016/17 would largely just be ignored by the Sony/MS fanbase which leaves you with just ... Wii U fans. It won't work.
