What if they are not going third party.

There's no reason why they would just leave the video game industry though.
If they are convinced that they can make significantly more money by not funding another system that ends up selling poorly, they will invest their money in what will give them and their investors the biggest return. They know their video games are still popular. No way they would just abandon that aspect of their business.

The potential is always higher if you own the system your games are on. But it's a risk. And one they've chose to go with again.
Many people simply don't think they will do it again if Switch under performs because they are a business.

I understand but there are more options even when talking about gaming, like a gaming service, phones, something like steam, which is a digital platform and would be their own structure without a console. that's why I say that we should not assume that Nintendo is going to do something specific.
