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.

That JUST leaves Nintendo with 3 years if they go with that strategy, not OVER ... 

Mario Party stopped being important, the last time the franchise ever broke 5M+ units was on Wii/DS in which the games were released nearly a deacde ago ... 

Metroid becoming a flagship is nothing more than your hopes and dreams. Metroid as a franchise is past it's prime when we consider it's popularity peaked during GC with Metroid Prime selling 2.8M units and then decreasing afterwards with the Wii ... 

Even Nintendo has a limit to how many flagships they can have or create ...

"Super Mario Party has sold over 1.5 million units since launching in early October, Nintendo revealed this week.

Released worldwide on October 5, Super Mario Party reportedly had "an extremely strong start compared to other instalments in the series".

High sales of the game are also driving an increase in Joy-Con sell-through, and Nintendo says the accessibility of the game also has potential to drive hardware sales."
