For most people on the web this seems to be a given. but the same persons also thought that the support for the Sony and MS consoles will be much better than the WiiU one from day one.

Of course you can add all the digital titles to these line ups but in terms of investments retail games are a much better proof of support than those other games. Also this fall if WiiU doesn't have some of the games released at launch on its rivals (EA games almost exclusively) there are also WiiU games that could have been ported on PS4/X1 but are not like SC, Rayman, Batman, Disney Infinity, DE... Sonic LW is also a WiiU exclusive while PS4 has 0 third party exclusive this fall and X1 has only one really : DR3. So this fall it is safe to say that despite what most predicted the third party support for X1/PS4 is at the very least not much better at all than the WiiU one.
Of course it could be different in the future and there are some 2014 games which are announced on PS4/X1 and not on the WiiU. But how many of them will really don't end up being released on WiiU too? The Division, Destiny or The Crew could very well be announced on the platform later like WD, COD:G or SC were. With the WiiU installed base being at least very similar to its competitors for easily one year it seems very doubtful that third party developpers will totally abandoned it as quickly as many seem to think. In fact it looks much more likely that the support will keep getting better and better for the platform. And this shows again that the WiiU is far from being as doomed as many pretend it to be.
