There is far too much conjecture in this thread for my liking, we still have no idea of the configuration for the initial Wii U SKU. Why don't we wait and see?
Given that Nintendo included an SD card with the 3DS and given that a 64gb sd card can now be had at retail for as little as $35, this problem could largely up and evaporate depending on what Nintendo includes with the system. I don't actually think they will pack in a 64gb card but the point is they could and then all this discussion about supposed DLC limitations becomes moot.
Even if they don't pack in any SD card and the majority of the user base doesn't have the inclination to expand the system storage via SD or HDD i can't see this being a tipping point for developer support. There are certain developers that have historically shown that they aren't that interested in supporting Nintendo so unless there has been some fundamental change in attitude from those developers they may continue this trend and will provide any excuse that suits them. e.g. too casual, too hard to compete with Nintendo 1st party, Nintendo are hard to work with, underpowered, development tools are poor etc. Conversely, if they see value in supporting Nintendo and think there is money to be made, I don't think storage restrictions will stop them.
