You don't get it do you? Nintendo wants third party profit, but they go about it in the most awkward of ways. It's not that they don't want it but Nintendo never really thinks hard enough about their relationship with third party and how to strengthen it. They should've developed their console in tandem with third parties to understand the desired specs for next gen, but they just couldn't could they? Once again they did everything on their own and then expected them to just put the games on like some retarded co-worker.
Who said Nintendo wasn't trying to appeal to their market? Nintendo needs to expand their natural market. This means creating a stable environment to get first and second party Nintendo games with stable third party. They wouldn't have to take once in a blue moon risks like the Wii, but if they wanted to they still could. Their stable market that they had during the SNES era dwindled down to mostly first and second party followers once the N64 era came into play because Nintendo was behind on CD technology because they were afraid of piracy. Everyone else had CD's and got the third party support.
The Wii U is being held down by the PS3 and 360. It's kind of obvious that if they are selling higher, late adopters are not differentiating the Wii U as next gen because of the types of games involved. Hopefully the first party will fix things.

I think they did develop it with one 3rd party in mind that being EA. They thought it they could get EA onboard the others would follow. But that unprecidented support fell apart for whatever reason we can only speculate but that whole origin thing seems to be the most plausible.

Nintnedo only gave third party enough time to do late ports, not enough time to truly think about anything next gen. EA's issue is definitely Origin, but they spoke for Nintendo at last years E3, so I am sure they were planning on making good on their deal.
