3rd party support from major publishers is not important for Nintendo to became successful, and never was, those who scream are not Nintendo fans they are at best those who left Nintendo generations ago and today they scream, NES was not successful because 3rd party supported them, neither was SNES neither was Game Boy nor Wii or DS.
Today 3DS is successful and 3rd party support is not behind the success and regardless of how powerful WiiU actually is, only success of 1st and 2nd party output decide if it becomes a success or not.
The truth is 3rd party support is highly dangerous for them.

I disagree.. the NES and SNES have a huge third-party support... the games that makes me buy SNES was in the most part third-party games like Internation Super Star Soccer (maybe the most fun soccer game of all the time), Stree Fighter, Top Gear, Final Fantasy, Secret of Mana, Chrono Trigger, Ghost n Globling, Megaman, etc.
I'm glad I have all the Mario games too.. and Zelda, StarFox and the best Metroid ever created (with the best song too).
But they had a stronge third-party support.
And 3DS have a great third-party support too... so I don't get your point.

there certainly was 3rd party support but the 3rd party support was NOT key factor for their success, perhaps with exception of SQUARE, Enix in their homeland.
On the other hand success of Sony and Microsoft depends entirely on 3rd party support

Third party was a key factor in the success of the NES and SNES. Sega had the press that it was the mature console while nintendo was the kiddy one for a while and funded their own first party to combat Nintendos vice-like grip on third party. Once their marketshare rose, third parties went to Sega, but nothing really changed.
Once Nintendo lost third party support and Sony took it, Nintendo hasnt won a gen until the Wii gimmick.
