This is a really great point. Say they dropped support now with no warning or compensation you're going to lose at most 4 million consumers(probably much less, people like myself will continue to support Nintendo and others will be satisfied with the value already gotten out of the system.)
If you continue to support the Wii U you're losing the 96 million people who bought a Wii and millions of other potention customers who don't consider the Wii U a worthwhile system. On top of that you're going years with minimal major third party business relationships and the longer it goes on the more irrecoverable it becomes.
