The Wii U is my main console, but in this situation the Wii U is only going to be the main console for Nintendo fans like me. While everyone else will get a PS4 or an Xbone first, many of them will hopefully realize that the Wii U has a lot more to offer as a secondary console than the other one. PS4 and Xbone are pretty similar in terms of both games and power.

It's sad to see Nintendo's third party support disappear completely. It's far worse now than it's been ever before.
- N64: Almost no support from Japanese companies at all, but it was heavily supported by American companies EA, LucasArts, Midway, Acclaim and THQ. It had quite a few high profile exclusive games (obviously not in comparison to the PSOne).
- GC: It got a lot of multiplatform games as all competing platforms were pretty equal in power. Japanese publishers Capcom, Square Enix and Namco supported it. Fewer exclusive games than the N64 though and no GTA.
- Wii: That thing got a LOT of third party support, most of it was sadly shovelware, casual games and watered down ports. There was some quality in there as well, but most of those games were too niche to sell even remotely close to the AAA third party games the HD twins received.

In addition to a great lineup of indie titles, I can see the Wii U only getting child friendly games like Skylanders, Infinity and Sonic and casual games like Just Dance. Bandai Namco, Tecmo Koei and Platinum games will probably stay loyal to Nintendo no matter what, but unless the Wii U maintains it's current momentum other publishers will stay away for good.

I think you're underestimating the amount of people that have a decent PC and Wii U. Best combination IMO.
