Are Nintendo gamers enlightened?

This is a very baseless assumption, purely based on my own analysis, so please don't take offense from this topic, but I thought that it could be an interesting discussion point.

Sometimes I observe discussions on this forum and look at people's actions and other's responses to these. I noticed that these get particularly interesting regarding 3rd party games - I'm talking about all the super-popular ones this generation, such as CoD, Battlefield, Assassin's Creed and Batman among a few others. Generally, I've noticed that the owners of HD consoles are much more likely to take an interest in these games - whether that be positive or negative - whereas the Nintendo console owners tend to stay on the sidelines.

"Well Radishhead" you say, "that's pretty obvious - the Wii doesn't have proper versions of these games, so of course Nintendo gamers aren't going to care about them!"

You have a point, my friends - but I argue that it's more complex than that - I believe that after years of neglect, the Nintendo fanbase has adapted to effectively phase out all caring for these otherwise blockbuster titles. I'm suggesting that even if a Nintendo console, for example the WiiU, was to get a "true" version of the aforementioned titles, then they wouldn't be purchased by the Nintendo fans. If this is true, then it means that the 3rd parties are right about their suspicions that their games don't sell on Nintendo consoles... but the irony is that it would be them that caused this effect in the first place through their negligence.

So, I ask you this question. Let's use CoD, since it's probably the most popular of these franchises - if a mainline CoD game was to appear on the WiiU, would you buy it? If not, is it because you've grown to not care about the "blockbuster" franchises anymore?

Discuss.
