It seems to me like they just won't meet third parties half way, since the SNES, there has always been a factor that has made them difficult to deal with. Cartridges for the N64, mini disks for GCN, and Motion control for the Wii. I really don't understand why they can't just make a system that embraces third parties rather than just closing it off to only be optimized by their own first parties. It's frustrating. The Wii U should by all means do better than it's three predecessors. I don't think it will look as antiquated as the Wii was power wise (still wish they would just use an appropriate amount of power), it has disks that won't really slow anyone down, it supports a classic controller, and the gamepad doesn't even have to be implemented like motion controls, devs can simply use play on the controller feature if they are lazy.
Nintendo needs to play nice, and work hard to get the 3rd party support we as fans deserve. The Wii U seems like a more attractive proposition for devs who don't want to be limited than it's predecessors, but right now, Nintendo needs to get more units to people, because devs don't like small userbases showing little growth.
