It does help Nintendo show that it`s commited to 3rd parties.
About the market share... my opinion is, and this is a bit tricky, Wii wasn`t the console hardcore gamers wanted so they ended up buying Xbox 360 and PS3. If Nintendo can appeal to those lost gamers by giving them the games they want, while still appealing to the casual crowd, there`s a good chance Wii U could sell very, very well.
With all the games announced it`s clear that Wii U is already an option to developers. NG3, AC3, B:AC, Dirt, GR Online, etc, isn`t this proof that developers are betting on Wii U in a way that they didn`t with Wii?
The casual crowd can belong to Nintendo again if it`s smart: the tablet controller, Wii series games, online store and other functionalities like facebook, video streaming culd make Nintendo succeed once more.

Yes, the Wii wasn't the console that hardcore gamers wanted - and neither were GameCube, obviously, nor N64 - even thu they had the best graphics for their days... Why would WiiU be the hardcore gamers first choice if it doesn't have all the 3rd party games? It's software that sells a system.
Yes, WiiU seems to be very interesting to developers at the moment - but will it be as interesting when the next MS/Sony systems hits the market? WiiU really need good graphics - it doesn't have to be THE best, but good enough.
But I agree with you: the WiiU COULD sell very, very well! It could be the choice for hardcore gamers AND casual - Nintendo just have to play it really, really good :)

GC more than N64, but i don`t think that, after all mistakes Nintendo did in th N64 era, GC really had a honest chance. No great 2D Mario, mature Zelda and the best Mario Kart would have saved GC. PS1 and specially PS2 just did everything right, Not even MS, with all the hardcore attitude made a dent on PS2.
Wii U could be what PS2 was for that generation in terms of power and still be an option for developers if Nintendo and customers show these developers that Wii U is for all gamers, hardcore or not.
Honestly, i think Nintendo is in the best position of them all to be first once again and this time really appeal to eveyone like PS2 did.
