The Gamecube actually had really good third party support. The idea that it didn't is a myth. The N64 had terrible 3rd party support as far as ports, but some really good third party exclusives. The GC kind of had the opposite problem, where it actually got a decent amount of multi-plat titles, but outside of a handful of notable mentions, a lot less third party exclusives.

Either way, it holds little bearing over the current state or future fortunes of the Wii U.


I agree with most of this except the GC was the only platform not to receive GTA, and that was the game of that generation. Though it did receive splinter cell. 

Mainly because by that time most Western developers (to Nintendo's detriment many that were on the rise) were already tired of having to cut/super compress data for Nintendo's machine and began to drift away from supporting it. The fact is, there were titles that the GC could have had released in that generation that due to media type and aesthetic decisions Nintendo made before its release doomed it.
