They should by all means try to get as many games on their system as they can, but let's not overlook that even after being left high and dry when Nintendo shifted their software development to 3DS and Wii U, Wii still passed 100 million units sold. And Switch is unlikely to be similarly left high and dry before its time simply because Nintendo probably won't be making discreet consoles and portables anymore.
What's more, with Switch taking Japan by storm, it is set to absorb the 3DS's third party support.

This idea that a system cannot be successful without Western AAA multiplats is a myth that needs to die.

Well I don't say it needs third party to be a succes but the Wii had a great few years and then it got less third party support, a cheaper price and even a revision(colours) and it ended up selling less.  The switch like the Wii started great and it is easy to think it becomes one of those 100 million seller systems but at this point we can't know it yet.

Wii is hardly an example of a console that didn't do well though, it's the 3rd highest selling console of all time.
