Despite popular belief, Nintendo games aren't so good that they appeal to absolutely everyone and stop people from wanting to buy any other type of game. The reason most 3rd parties sell poorly on Nintendo consoles is due to their completely different demographics. People who buy a Wii U generally aren't the type of people who are interested in AAA 3rd party games and vice versa, hence why games like AC, CoD and the like sell worse on Wii U than on other consoles, but for a Rayman Legends, which appeals
If Nintendo made a console that both audiences bought, both types of games would sell well and third parties would be willing to support it, just like they supported the PS3 at the start of the generation despite its faults simply because their games sold on it.

a) "Despite popular belief" is a funny term, but it's really all that matters. You may not think Nintendo games aren't that good, but the popular belief is that they are and so people buy them ahead of all else if they are available.
b) Even if Nintendo games aren't that great and/or popular, they're still massively more popular than any other 1st party collection. As a result, third parties prefer to publish on systems with weaker 1st party presence. Hell, Sony thought about ditching their entire 1st party line up a few years ago. If I was a third party looking to have as little competition as possible, that's where I'd go.

I never said that there aren't people who like Nintendo games more than any other games, only that not everyone does, and that the reason 3rd party multiplats don't sell on Wii U is because the people who like those games just as much or more than Nintendo's games aren't interested in a Wii U.
