The more i think about it, the more i think its a business decision.
First: we know for sure how well VC games sells? One thing that you have to understand is that every game need to be tested in a way that work both on tv and on gamepad, as well be able to put picture on miiverse at any given time. Of course there is some work on trailers for the re-releases, so some money go to editing and marketing stuff too. In the end, nintendo release a game that everyone call too expensive.
If in the wii, it looked like they were not getting the most of it, imagine on wiiu? Why bother? Will not move units. Will not sell amanzily well. Will not have a lot of support from 3rds. Its really a card?
"Hardware design isn’t about making the most powerful thing you can.
Today most hardware design is left to other companies, but when you make hardware without taking into account the needs of the eventual software developers, you end up with bloated hardware full of pointless excess. From the outset one must consider design from both a hardware and software perspective."
