I can't blame Ubisoft for this one. They gave Wii U a fair chance (unlike EA). I blame Nintendo, because it's responsible to create a healthy install base for developers.

it isn't nintendo's responsibility to create the userbase for 3rd party genres because if they do who needs 3rd party games if you are satisfied with the 1st party ones?

Also how do you think Sony and Micrososft got their userbase? from 3rd party games mainly. They bend over backwards to get the 3rd party support. That is the issue here. Nintendo needs to provide a working environment that 3rd party will be happy with, plus moneyhat.

I believe IT IS Nintendo's responsibility to ensure a healthy userbase.  It is the hardware maker and distributor.  When launching a product, the manufacturer MUST properly market the product. Nintendo also happens to be a software developer, thus it must also asure a healthy userbase for its own software.  Nintendo met its resposibility with the Wii, DS, and 3DS.  It hasn't with Wii U.
