Perhaps. The Wii U has certainly done much worse than Nintendo expected, but I think they have enough in the bank (and are making enough off of software and 3DS sales) that they can afford to make it last for 6-7 years. The PS4 and One will certainly last til 2020 in terms of first-party support, but after that it will be mostly ports (just like almost all consoles that get outpaced in a new gen).
I think Nintendo would want to release a new console at around the same time as Sony and MS, if only so they don't lose out in terms of power and thus third-party devs. As long as their next-gen handheld does well, they can afford to eke out a few extra years.
