Nintendo president Satoru Iwata has told investors that he is aware that a large number of developers and consumers believe that the Wii U is significantly underpowered and says that this is a misunderstanding. Iwata says that Nintendo really need to remedy this idea. He also told investors that a number of third-party developers aren’t supporting the console, but he believes that once third-party developers start producing hit franchises on the Wii U then other developers will think again about developing for the platform. Iwata understands that this won’t happen overnight, but Nintendo is working on revitalising Wii U after the summer.

Well that there was the problem with the Wii wasn't it? The hit 3rd party franchises were no where near commensurate with the level of hardware sales (e.e. Wii has fewer million selling 3rd games than PS3, and far fewer than 360. Now with Wii U selling more like early PS3 rather than early Wii the 3rd parties are possibly looking at how their games didn't sell on Wii and thinking with a lower growth rate in install base compared to Wii it's a really risky proposition. And the party games that did so well on Wii may not do as well on WiiU.

Still there's no reason not to port PS360 games to Wii U.
