The real question is though, what can Nintendo do about it? How can they make sure 3rd party publishers makes games for Wii U?

By making the system sell to the point where it can't be ignored and by supporting it properly for more than four years. This means:

1. Don't stop to make games that fall under the "casual" label like Wii branded games and Super Mario Bros.
2. Don't leave windows open for third party games to sell. Good games don't need windows and first party games being released too far apart has only ever led to collapsing hardware sales for Nintendo. Nothing good has ever come out of it.
3. Let the industry run its course. They'll keep rising development costs while Microsoft and Sony will put out expensive consoles once again. At some point third parties will have to bring their games to the Nintendo system out of sheer necessity to survive.

The odds are stacked against Nintendo. They are facing incredible bias and resistance. But they can pull through, if they are persistent and make the games the market wants to buy.

what you are describing here is the Wii - plain and simple. it was the number one selling console for years, and still recieved little 3rd party support. all it got was gimped ports, and those don't sell too well.

I think you should have added a fourth point; namely, making adecvate hardware that can somewhat compete with sony and microsofts consoles. as long as it doesn't get gimped ports and is the cheaper option, nintendos console should get better 3rd party support.

Furthermore, I think VGChartz should add a "Like"-button.
