It's not stupid to buy third-party multiplat titles for the Wii U. That's not what I was saying. And I don't really want to narrow it down a whole lot and just flat-out start calling people 'stupid', so let me rephrase:
If I own a PS3 (I don't), and I've already played Arkham City, and I'm not remotely interested in any of Wii U's exclusives, I don't see why I would buy a Wii U just to replay Arkham City with a new control scheme. I'd have to be a pretty hardcore Batman fan to drop $250+ to play the same game with slightly different controls. This applies no matter how many multiplats you throw into the mix; I can play them all on my (hypothetical) PS3.
The only reason to buy a new console is usually for the exclusives. For Wii U specifically, there may be some other selling points depending on the individual: future Nintendo first-party staples, known functions of the second screen, Miiverse. But I strongly doubt "playing my old games with different controls" will be the primary reason for purchase for anyone.
The line "You will buy a Wii U mainly for the upcoming Nintendo games released for it" seems to be where the confusion is. I will, yes -- well, those and a couple of third-party games. But MegamanZX evidently will not, nor will many others, and they're the market we were discussing.
