So what about the here and now when it comes to third parties. Answer me this: Do you believe that all major third parties will support Nintendo throughout the generation, if only Nintendo provides hardware with comparable specs?

I think Nintendo genuinely had a window of oppurtunity here that they didn't recoginize properly. The blue ocean market has indeed moved on to tablets/phones, but there is a large market that's sick to death of their PS3/360 and wants to move on. Developers too, I think the development community wants to move on badly. That was actually the market Nintendo should've targetted. People are starving for a generational leap, not yet another 360/PS3 with a low-res screen taped to a Pro Controller.
There is no conspiracy against Nintendo either, they just keep making hardware that's hilariously out of step with what Western developers want. If they made a piece of hardware that was in tune with what Western developers want (which is basically a PC GPU in a box) it would probably be enthusiastically supported.
Especially if it's the only game in town for a year, a lot of publishers IMO would look at it and say "hey lets get a jump on the next-generation and be the next dominant publisher for the next 5-6 years by making the first next-gen blockbuster". Third parties don't actively dislike Nintendo, it's just that Nintendo keeps giving them reasons to look elsewhere.

What do Japanese third parties want?

I don't think even Japanese developers know the answer to that question. Even if they did, they are losing relevance by the week.
