If Nintendo could make up for the lack of 3rd parties, would people become interested on their consoles again?

I don't think Nintendo are capable of releasing 100+ games per year by themselves. But even if they did the majority of them will be new IPs. Hard to sell those to people that don't already have the console unless they have some interesting concept and merely being knock offs of other games isn't going to accomplish that since people will just buy the original games instead of the Nintendo knock offs that would require a whole new system purchase.

Nintendo isn't capable of making hundreds of big games per year, sure. But imagine if Nintendo makes a game similar to, per example Skyrim. Imagine that Nintendo creates a medieval-fantasy open world WRPG, and because Nintendo's name is attached, sells really well on the system. That could cause two things: one, more interest from the userbase to games of the same genre, and two, proof to 3rd parties that games from those genres sell well. Nintendo can't push effectively a console all by themselves, but they need to set an example and show other publishers that their userbase do buy games. I'm pretty sure that, if there were more cartoony shooters on the market, some would try to release on the WiiU after the success of Splatoon.
