Nintendo simply doesn't have the resources to completely make up for the lack of third party support, particularly in sports simulation which is a tricky avenue. They can make cartoony arcade sports games like mario strikers or golf, but to sell a sport simulation game then they are going to have to drop money for licenses from the respective leagues to use their symbols and player likenesses (nintendo won't even pay peanuts for a dvd license for that functionality though the hardware is obviously there) or they make a generic simulator with made up teams and players and those just don't sell because the appeal of sports simulation games is controlling your favorite team/players.
