Or maybe big games like CoD/ME/AC all bombed on the WiiU and the preorders of NFS are non existent?
I mean we can blame the lack of Origin support as much as we want, but when will we start blaming the atrocious sales of 3rd party games?

This.
It costs money to finish polishing a game that is close to completion, to publish it, and advertise it. If EA had a strong feeling that they would barely recoup those costs, then they aren't going to release the game. Nintendo fans always complain about poor 3rd party support, but when they do get ports/multiplats, they don't seem to buy them. Yet, they start to get pissed when 3rd parties begin to abandon their console because there is no money to be made. I think Nintendo fans on this site need to have a long talk with their brethren, as the majority of them don't seem to care about 3rd party games. This is only going to hurt Nintendo in the long run.
Though, for some reason, this only applies to their home consoles. Their handheld gets good 3rd party support and sales. I guess that's because not only the Nintendo diehards and casuals buy those systems. I have a 3DS myself.

Yes, sure, consumers are to blame not to buy subpar-games. How bad of Nintendo-fans. And Just Dance was really a first-party-title that Nintendo gave to Ubisoft to publish. No way that a third-party ever adapts to the needs of the customer-base of a console.

First of all, Just Dance was gobbled up by the casuals, not the diehard Nintendo fans. Unfortunaly for Nintendo, casuals aren't gobbling up the Wii U. And second, your subpar comment is the exact problem. Nintendo fans who feel that no 3rd party can come close to their beloved Nintendo, regardless of the quality of 3rd party games and Nintendo games. Unfortunately, the Nintendo fans that disagree with this are in the minority, as sales show, so have no choice but to buy a 2nd console for great 3rd party games.
