Self-fulfilling prophecy.

1) Don't release what are considered big core games.
2) Claim that big core games don't sell on the platform. (Because they weren't released for it.)
3) Use this as justification for your initial decision. See point 1).

But don't you think its up to Nintendo to create an core audience for their console.

Microsoft did so with Gears of War, Halo, and other games.
Sony did so with God of War, Killzone, and other games. 

Third party's are just mimicking Nintendo's games, because the people who bought their console did so for the Nintendo games.
It's not up to third party’s to create a core audience on the Wii U, its up to Nintendo.
ZombiU is an exclusive for six months, the rest is multiplat and sometimes a year late.

What core gamer would care?
Should they buy a WiiU because they want Miinivers Mii's in their GTA?

If Nintendo would create a western Nintendo studio, to make some high quality, must play core games they can't make in Japan, they would show commitment to that part of the marked.
That would create a core audience, and then third party would surely target that marked. 

Metroid alone is clearly not enough.
