3rd parties were late to the party, and are eating the crow they served Nintendo, and will blame Nintendo for it.

3rd parties eating crow? You must be kidding me. What 3rd parties are doing is shrugging, saying "whatever" and leaving the platform in favour of PS4 (and XO ports). It's not like Wii U is any kind of success. The console is struggling and is on its way to become on of the worst selling home consoles in history, moreover the platform and fanbase have a long track record of not buying 3rd party games. You seriously think 3rd parties give a damn about Wii U? Or that they should give? Hell no! If anyone is eating crow here, it's Nintendo for being so family friendly, cartoony, focusing solely on casuals and arogantly ignoring mature gamers. 3rd parties? They have a new cash cow from Sony, they don't need Wii U.

Accept the fact, that 3rd parties just don't care. Nintendo failed to create a business opportunity for other developers, so they leave and go where the money's at. It's the same that happened to Sony and Vita. The Vita AC sold 1 mil and we still didn't get a sequel or even just a port of later games - now that's a kick in the guts! I'd love to see Ubi using these newly freed resources to create new AC Vita or just new ports (port AC Rogue - why the hell not?), but I lost my faith long time ago.
