It's not a conspiracy, Nintendo just doesn't make systems that suit the target market of most third parties.

Nintendo aims more towards kids/family audience, most of the big third party games that Nintendo fans clamour for aren't made for this demographic.

The Wii/U saw good support from LEGO, Just Dance, and most of the big family/casual IP, but those IP are not really the most popular on "hardcore" message boards even for Nintendo fans, so nothing to crow about there.

Beyond that Nintendo bailed out on making relatively cutting edge systems after the GameCube, so for a lot of third parties making a port for Nintendo is more of a headache than its worth.
