people do not purchase Nintendo systems to play 3rd party games.

Wrong. Lets use VGChartz numbers.

~460 Million 3rd party games sold on Wii.

~440 Million 3rd party games sold on DS.

~900 Million 3rd party games sold on Nintendo platforms for the generation.

As you can see, consumers bought plenty of 3rd party games on Nintendo platforms

Very good observation. It's also not true by a fair margin that Nintendo sells more games on their platforms than 3rd party devs, on the Wii and DS Nintendo-published games "only" account for ~40% of all sold SW (likely even less since VGChartz doesn't track most of the shovelware)
