No, potentially it's a lot more profitable for them, even if we presume their next platform is a moderate success (N64 level, 30-35 million sales). If Nintendo, in some magic way would be able to even come remotely close (70 million +) to replicating the Wii's success, then sure, going third party wouldn't benefit them.
I didn't forget to factor inthe increased costs of developping for two or more platforms at once, but I don't really know how much it would cost to port a Nintendo game from the PS4 to the XBO or vice versa.
