If the Nintendo oracles knew that the Wii U would be a failure from the start, why are they upset about lack of 3rd party support...

I think many of those you refer to now are saying that Nintendo never really needed 3rd party support is fully an industry onto itself. And they're sort of right.

I for one consider most 3rd party games on WiiU a square peg trying fit into a round hole. The console is very capable of besting last gen graphics, performance, and experience, but does so in a way that doesn't match the approach used in competing platforms.
