Blame almighty nintendo for making a weak console with terrible networking functionality to cut corners. How can it's titles compete with  the xb1/ps4 versions? Even games where the wii U version is much better like say Tekken Tag 2, they still won't buy so yeah, my assumption is much more logical than yours.

Lastly, how do you explain why Tales of Graces sold terribly on Wii relative to ps3? What's the excuse for that one? I'll wait...

1) Console isn't weak, that's a myth and everything we know of the console is based on theoretical parts and knowledge (meaning It can easly be proven wrong with a breaking of a NDA)

2) Terrible network functionality? Where have you been? Do you even own a Wii U? The Wii U network functionality is miles better than what the Wii had and if you think otherwise then I feel sorry for you. 

3) NIntendo, Sony and MS have all said that Nintendo is not a competitor. There is many experiences you can only get on Nintendo and if you want it. You pay the cheaper price of the console. 

4)Your logic is flawed, mine is much more sound here. The fact that Wii U has a small userbase and Tekken Tag 2 is a horrible port and not something the average Nintendo gamer wants says another. They want defining experiences, not shitty ports of games with less features for the same price. 

5) Tales of Graces was not sold outside of japan on the Wii, yet it sold .22m units. about 1/4 that of the PS3's 0.86. The PS3 version seen more releases than the Wii version which perfectly explains that. 

Future suggestion, don't be a Ninty hater. Some of us will speak with more logic. 

1. Console isn't weak relatively to ps4/X1? Your fanboyism is off the charts with that one.

2. Yes, terrible network functionality relative to ps4/x1.

3.  You mean nintedno's own titles? Well, I only find FE interesting of the bunch but that one is not popular. Make no mistake, these companies are all competing no matter what they tell you.

4. No man. Yours doesn't hold water. Tekken Tag 2 on Wii U is the best version of the game. Shows how much you know huh? It even has an extra mode unavailable on the PS360 versions. They want defining experiences yet they won't buy any. Compare to early in ps3's life when it truly got crap ports like Fallout 3, Orange box, etc yet they still sold millions.

5. I'm comparing apples to apples. It's 0.22m on wii in Japan vs .43m on ps3 in Japan. Nice spin you put there. This is despite coming out on Wii a year earlier and the Wii having  triple the userbase back then.

Take your own advise and don't be such a fanboy then you may realise why business people think porting to the Wii U is a waste of money. Just because you bought one copy of a game doesn't mean it sold well.
