Unlikely, that would probably hurt both of them. I think we might see something like this based on rumors of what is in development
Zelda at launch in March
Luigi's Mansion 3 in May
Pikmin 4 in July
Metroid in September
Pokemon in early November
Mario on the Friday before Thanksgiving

That would probably be the single most prolific year in Nintendo history. That sounds a tad optimistic to me.

If the speculation/rumors are true than this is a hybrid device that is a successor to both 3DS & Wii U so it will have a unified library with Nintendo's full support.

Lets take a look a few of the most recent years to see what a unified setup could look like.

2013-Fire Emblem: Awakening, Luigi's Mansion: Dark Moon, Pokemon Mystery Dungeon: Gates to Infinity, Donkey Kong Country Returns 3D, Animal Crossing: New Leaf, Pikmin 3, Mario & Luigi: Dream Team, Zelda: Wind Waker HD, Wii Party U, Pokemon X/Y, Super Mario 3D World, Zelda: Link Between Worlds, Mario Party: Island Tour

2014-Donkey Kong Country: Tropical Freeze, Yoshi's New Island, Kirby: Triple Deluxe, Mario Golf: World Tour, Mario Kart 8, Tomodachi Life, Hyrule Warriors, Pokemon OR/AS, Super Smash Bros 3DS/Wii U, Captain Toad: Treasure Tracker

2015-Zelda: Majora's Mask 3D, Kirby Rainbow Curse, Mario Party 10, Fossil Fighters: Frontier, Codename STEAM, Xenoblade Chronicles 3D, Splatoon, Animal Crossing: Happy Home Designer, Super Mario Maker, Yoshi's Woolly World, Zelda: Triforce Heroes, Pokemon Super Mystery Dungeon,  Xenoblade Chronicles X

3DS & Wii U both suffered from terrible post-launch droughts so its absolutely vital that they have a steady flow of big guns in the first year.
