Something to take into consideration is that most publishers recognise that a new platform is unlikely to give them profitable games straight away. Games released early in a console gen are designed to establish franchises on new platforms. Assassins Creed did this for Ubisoft last gen, as did CoD 2 & 4 for Activision and Dead Space for EA.
All this talk of profits seems to have forgotten about this little fact. It's why most new games are ports of older versions or will get ported to other next-gen consoles.
The fact that EA have reduced support suggests they don't think it's worth establishing these franchises on WiiU which would further suggest they don't think WiiU has much of a future. The only way I see this changing now is if other third-parties (or even Nintendo themselves) show a significant market for these games is available.
