This is actually probably too many games for unified platform to have and it doesn't even include some eShop releases.

If they indeed go the unified library approach, Nintendo software won't be the issue so much I doubt, Nintendo should be able to comfortably release 12-16 games/year without little to no fuss. Third party content and having third parties who are satisfied with the level of sales will be more the issue.
