Yet it sold like crap.

And yes, I was talking about the small vocal minority on these types of forums. The same individuals who keep spouting the same irrational hate for the company just to spite them. To the rest of your paragraph, that just sounds like NIntendo are equally the ones to blame there.

"Most Wii U owners out there don't care or even know about EA, so those people are not to blame for the sales of the games either."

Nintendo's marketing department.

And that's the point, those people don't even matter because even if all of them buy the game it won't change the totals by anything significant. 

Why is Nintendo's marketing department responsible for selling EA games or even knowing the company? That's the job of EA's marketing department. 

All sales count in the end. I just find it hugely ironic that Nintendo fans put the blame on EA for not supporting the console, when Wii U owners are just snubbing off the games in favour of Nintendo ones.

And the reason why I said that is because Nintendo promised you guys great third party support, yet their marketing says otherwise. I don't see any Wii U adverts advertising huge franchises like Fifa or any other third party games and why I should buy that over the PS3 or 360 versions of the game.

Of course Nintendo fans will favorite Nintendo games over third party games, they are called fans for a reason. The same thing applies to Sony and MS fans. And like before you are generalizing, many Wii users on this site do own a lot of third party games. Heck one of my fav games this gen (Okami and Monster Hunter Tri) came from 3rd party devs, and many Nintendo fans will tell you the same. 

What? Unless both Nintendo and EA made a contract where Nintendo has to do the marketing of EA games this doesn't make sense at all. Third parties pay for their own marketing, Nintendo's job is to sell the Wii U and first party games, third party are their own business. And also that's not true, because Nintendo has already made partnerships with 3rd parties, examples: Bayonetta 2, Wonderful 101, Fire Emblem x Shim Megami Tensei, publishing Lego City and Monster Hunter in Europe, helping a lot indie devs with free dev kits and free Unity licenses, etc.
