Core gamers do not care about 3rd parties on Nintendo, in fact, they only care about the next Zelda game

I agree with you....generally. Those who love nintendo will tend to focus on its 1st party games. Those who have never played or played and no longer like their IPs (or never liked their IPs to begin with) will likely never move to the Wii U since nearly all the 3rd party games it will get will be ports. What remains is a fairly small number of people who will support 1st and 3rd party games on the Wii U - while the assymetric gameplay.could potentially be a good drawcard (with good games of course) the lack of power in the console probably disincentivises some people.
