I love it when people say its 'Nintendos fault'. What were they suppose to do? They went 2 generations where they made some of the most powerful systems on the market and practically coddled Third Parties trying to get their support (the N64 and GameCube). Instead, they went running to the weakest system and ignored Nintendo completely.
Now Nintendo went an entirely different route, trying to develop a system that was cheap to develop for with the highest userbase and had multiple control options. And instead, all the third parties did the opposite. They ran to the systems that had the better graphics and were the most powerful.
Its hardly Nintendos fault. They've been following the trends of the industry for years. Its more like third parties have been making some kind of conscious decision to skip over Nintendo systems ever since the N64. And even if Nintendo went out there and tried to pay for third party exclusives (which they don't do), many third parties probably wouldn't do it. And why wold they, when Microsoft and Sony does the same thing and they have quite a preference for HD.
The only way Nintendo is going to get third parties to work on a Nintendo system now is if they have the best graphics and a clear lead in the start of the market next gen.
