To be honest, I don't really think so.
Xenoblade was developed with around as many employees as A Link Between Worlds, for example, and around a 5th of the peolpe who worked on Pokemon X and Y, that's just bad, lol.
The company as a whole is very small. Only around 5000 employees, that's crazy. With rapidly evolving HD development that needs more and more employees and money, they really need to hire a lot more people. Sony and MS' game divisions don't have it this bad because there's a lot of 3rd party support. Whether the NX will have 3rd party support or not remains to be seen, but Nintendo should always prepare for the worst and no the best, which they did with the WiiU and that backfired immensly.
