I don't fear the failure of the WiiU or the downfall of Nintendo. I need not worry because I'm aware of how much money Nintendo has in the bank. What bothers me about third party devs is their unwillingness to support a console that is 3 million strong, yet have no problem starting development for games on next gen such as PS4 and Xbox Infinity when the consoles haven't even shipped. I also am a huge fan of Nintendo and do have an emotional tie to the company, and so when I see companies saying that their system isn't worth developing for I become upset. If I were still a kid I wouldn't care about third party because Nintendo would offer me everything I need. However I've grown up and games like Mass Effect, Dead Space etc have become staples that come with a great system. I want to play games with mature content yet I would prefer not having to buy a second console for third party titles. First party however is a different question, It looks like I'll be picking up a PS4 this time around simply because I enjoyed the heck out of ratchet, sly and uncharted.
Another point I'd like to make is that a few developers that have publicly stated they have no intention of supporting the WiiU have released rather mediocre games; this includes Crytek's Crysis 3 and Dead Island Riptide.
Anyways, its not at all the consoles chance of failure but the unmerited hatred towards my company of choice.
