Investment. Folks who do actually buy Wii U now will want something to play, and if you do it now, while you're making most of your money from the PS3/360 versions, you can cost-effectively gain mindshare on the platform. Nintendo's not going to let Wii U fail completely, and as it becomes healthier in the future, people will remember the Wii U games they bought earlier in the cycle and be more willing to try sequels.
Trainwreck got it mostly right, but i view it more optimistically, that a healthy Wii U buying base will help third parties in that painful era between the decline of the PS3/360 and proper rise of their successors.
Monster Hunter: pissing me off since 2010.
