Why can't the U just be a late bloomer?

The idea is that the Wii sold on Nintendo's merits first and foremost. As usual, with Nintendo, 3rd parties don't take business risks, they piggyback onto Nintendo's success. The same can't be said about the PS or the XB, and so that is why 3rd party support doesn't have the same logic in terms of success between Nintendo consoles and the other two. That's why you can't use PSXB logic on Nintendo consoles, it just doesn't work.

Stop turning Nintendo into a victim. They have to bear the consequences of their own business decisions just like every other company.

Also, you are manipulating saying that "GCN had good 3rd party support". In the past 3rd party wasn't what it became in the PS360 era. Back in the day 3rd party exclusives were the norm, now a 3rd party exclusive is breaking news. We now live in the era of 3rd party multiplats, but Nintendo gimped its consoles and pushed itself out of this mainstream. While everyone knows that 95% of games on PS360 and on PS4One are gonna be the same and the few exclusives will make the difference, Nintendo has to deal with the fact, that they are the odd man out, not capable of running these 95% of games.

It would really be interesting if Wii U was on par with PS4One, being able to run 3rd party multiplats and joining the fight with Sony and MS in the field of exclusives. I think the result would be much better than what the Wii U has become.
