Of course they could. Nintendo could survive on Pokemon alone going to mobile and other consoles or even PC devices. Nintendo at this point have two things that both Atari and SEGA didn't at the time of their exit from the home console industry... relevancy and a ton of cash on hand. Atari hadn't been relevant in well over a decade when they left the industry, and SEGA had been on the decline for several years and only Sonic was really relevant at the time of their demise, and both were pretty much bankrupt when they left the industry.
Nintendo's franchises and global recognition is strong enough that they could survive and even thrive as a 3rd party only company, plus their cash reserves would ensure their future for some time to come.

You know I was always wondering why no one ever used the dollar sign for $ony, but then I realized they have no money so it would be pointless.
