Why is it so hard to believe that third parties have a very valid reason for avoiding Nintendo?

This oft repeated sentence is in itself a great example of bias.

He's right though, they have a valid reason.

A valid reason if you buy into the bias, sure. Anything can be a valid reason. "I don't want to" is a valid reason for anything, it is also heavily dependent on bias.

The statement "Third parties have a good reason to avoid Nintendo" is a steaming pile of confirmation bias.

"But I don't want to, isn't a valid reason. Third parties have very little reason to develope for the wiiu. Nintendo has kind of alienated themselves from devs when they decided to say they didn't need them with the wii generation. Then there's also the fact the wiiu simply doesn't tend to have high sales with almost any game. It's simply not worth the risk to invest into it. 

Yep.  Why waste time and money learning to optimize a console when then the 360/ps3 are completily mapped out already and the PS4/One are vastly stronger and easier to program for.  Then throw in the fact that the game attatch ratio is terrible on the Wii U and you see a situation where it just makes no sense to make games for it.
