Of course it's not.  If Nintendo doesn't want to form partnerships then that is thier option.

However, third parties are also not required to support Nintendo, especially when there are other console manufacturers out there who are willing to form business partnerships.  Most companies in most industries will tell you that working to create mutually lucrative alliances with other companies is a requirement.  Nintendo has gotten around that because of the history of their brand, coming from a time when they could dictate terms, but things have obviously changed.

It's a simple situation.  Microsoft and Sony try hard to build an environment where other publishers and developers can make a lot of money.  Nintendo does not.  The results speak for themselves.

Nintendo doesn't need 3rd parties, so Nintendo doesn't need to form partnerships. Nintendo sold more 1st party games on Wii than the xbox sold in total.

It's up to 3rd parties to sell their own games, not Nintendo.

I gave you all the numbers you need to know, Nintendo sell games on their own consoles. If Nintendo can do it, so can 3rd parties.

They just don't know how, bottom line. Noone to blame but themselves.

MS and Sony have great relationship with 3rd parties, knowing what their users want and expect from them, and 3rd parties know they can rely on MS/Sony to provide user base and hardware for their games. It's called symbiosis.

Nintendo does not care for 3rd parties and their needs, so expecting 3rd parties to support or care for Nintendo by default is quite naive, to put it mildly.

Yet, you can very rarely see Nintendo fans questioning those Nintendo policies, but they still keep on complaining about 3rd parties and their support.
