There are pros and cons to it.
People who think Nintendo would just make the same games they do now don't understand that 3rd party publishing is very different, most likely Nintendo would transform into a company that makes just 5-6 main franchises and everything else like Star Fox, Bayonetta, Xenoblade, Punch-Out, Metroid, etc. likely would never get made because they'd want to pump out a new Mario Kart every 1-2 years.
If you have no obligation to support an entire platform, and it's not really on you to make a platform has diversity, then likely like any third party they likely would focus most on their main franchises.
Look at the types of games Sega made when they were a hardware maker versus what they've made after that.
That's why in the net end result I don't think it would be good for gamers. What they can do is make a hybrid type device or primary portable that's capable of running all their games ... that would cut down on people being asked basically to buy two pieces of Nintendo hardware just to play Nintendo games.
