It's one of the possibilities but given Nintendo's history that would be a bad idea. They can't afford to go around spending lots of money on every major third party game to secure them for the Wii U given the systems awful performance. Not even every major third party would help the Wii U right now, Wii U's trouble are mainly conceptual ones and whatever they could have done to help is no longer possible as the console's bad image is already forged.

The console itself is the one to blame but third parties where never there to even help the system thrive. And this is problem has been grwoing since the N64 or the Gamecube era. The console itself has it flaws but because of them they lost virtually every third party game.

The PS3 was a complete disaster but it always had third party support and in the end it thrived thanks to that. Nintendo could never do that because third parties don't flock to their system, they just flee from it. They would have to buy every major third party game to ensure third parties are on board. And that's impossible for them to do!

That's what i mean. So they need to come up with a solution that relies on the fact that most third parties are going to ignore them.

It would seem it's the only way, but relying on "Wii hits" is not a solid strategy at all. Maybe a good solution would be to start (slowly) buying studios, or reinforcing the ones they have to keep a steady production of games.
