The only reason that Nintendo would want to quadruple first party output is if third party wasn't on board. Otherwise, there is a much much higher risk of franchise fatigue with their iconic heroes. It would be reasonable to assume that she's talking fluff, or that we will have yet another Nintendo console with minimal third party support.

Considering how quick 3rd parties abandoned the WiiU after launch, you'd think Nintendo needs a fast 1st party schedule as a failsafe.Also, I'm sure they'll try more IPs, trying to replicate the Splatoon phenomenon.

I actually just updated my comment to reflect your last sentence. 

 

The problem with the fail safe argument is that they risk driving their key franchises into the ground, or if we choose the "bag of new IP", then there's a real possibility that the quality that's synonymous with Nintendo takes a dive as developers are spread thin/exhausted.
