With Nintendo depleting their potential rather quickly (they already used Zelda, 3D Mario, Splatoon and not to the fullest extent Mario Kart) that leaves them with Pokemon, 2D Mario, Animal Crossing, Smash Bros and those with potential to become flagships includes Tomodachi, Luigi's Mansion along with Donkey Kong ... (Nintendo will have released 4 out of their 11 biggest current franchises for Switch in it's first year!) With Monster Hunter and Yokai Watch not being as strong as they were, Nintendo will find themselves at an impasse with the Switch once they used all of their biggest franchises ... |
Even using 3 of their biggest franchises a year still gives Nintendo over 3 years before they run out of their top IP's. Also, Mario Party has the potential to be a 5+m franchise on a successful console, as does Metroid if Nintendo can create enough hype for it. After 3 years Nintendo can begin to offer sequels to the aforementioned big hitters. Also, there are collaborations, unknowns and new IP's to think of.
If anyone has the IP's to pull it off, Nintendo has.
