When it comes to WIiU why do western 3rd parties get so much flack, while Japanese ones dont?

It's probably because they are perceived as less relevant overall (the Japanese ones, that is), especially when compared to the 90's and early 2000's, that's my guess anyway.

Also i'd guess it has to do with Japanese developers making more exclusives.

Western Dev's are more likely to throw a game on 5-6 platforms including the PS3 and 360 (but not wii U).

 

Someone giving another guy $5 and you nothing is one thing... someong giving EVERYONE else $5 including people they have to walk past you to get to?   That's a whole other deal.(As is the PS3/360 case technologically.)

 

People are used to the niche RPGs everyone coming out just being on one console.

That' another good point, we all remember what a huge deal it was when Final Fantasy lost the exclusive stamp. This fondness for multiplatform development is very likely spurred by the bigger budgets of Western developed games.
