It's not publishing that's the problem, it's developing for the system. Thee Wii U is now the only non x86 system on the market, which fragments the development for it.

That being said, I would be perfectly content with it, I'm mostly digital now anyway.

I see. What is this x86 thing? Could they do an easy upgrade for it? Or would it not make sense now that the Wii U has been out so long?

It's basically the architecture of the console. It's impossible to change now, since the Wii U uses a PowerPC CPU and to change the architecture you'd have to overhaul the CPU, which won't happen.
