Mirage sessions uses characters from fire emblem so to claim it as a typical third party game is stretching it.

but for the sake of an argument, let's assume it is a third party title. Is one niche third party title supposed to accurately reflect the performance of all third party titles?

My earlier point still stands. Wii u first party titles win by default because there aren't many third party options.

The amount available doesn't stop a game from selling better, and yet the first third party title doesn't appear until #17 in the top selling Wii U titles.

It does as a game sells better when it has less competition. Games on PlayStation, PC and Xbox have a lot of competition due to consumers having a bigger library of games to choose from and games releasing close to each other so consumers may have bought all of them if they released farther apart but as they release close to each other they choose one.
