The Wii U had a great launch line up even if 60-70% of the games on there were ports. The problem with the Wii U, is that even if it sold well after launch, it still wouldn't have got as much third party support as the PS4/Xbox One.

Sure it's getting games like Assassin's Creed 4, Watch Dogs, etc, but so is the PS360. What about games like Mirror's Edge 2, The Division, Destiny, etc? Games that are in the future being released for the PS4 and Xbox One. Where is the Wii U version for those? It's going to be the exact same with the Wii U as it has been with the Wii, since they're making money off two fanbases having to do little else other than directly port it to the other machine. The Wii U, like the Wii before it, will mostly continue to get third party support through PS360/Wii U multiconsole games that are still released for the next couple of years.  After the PS360 are no longer a viable source of income for publishers and sales are minimal, you expect them to develop a game exclusively for the Wii U when they could make more money on the PS4 and Xbox One?

The situation is not similar to the Wii. Even when you look at ones of the most impressive "next gen" titles like MGS5, BF4 or WD, all those games can be ported to PS360 and so to WiiU too and WD already is. So the situation is much more similar to the early 360 one as even if some games are not announced right now on the platform they probably could easily be ported eventually. Can FFXV, KH3, The Division and others really not be running on WiiU ? That's the big question but it seems much much more likely than ports from PS360 to Wii in what cases it was simply impossible for all the AAA projects.
