Look at the timeline, the Xbones sales are well ahead of what the Wii U's was in the same time period. The Xbone is more popular and by the time Halo 5 comes out the xbone would've breezed past the Wii U. Lack of third party cuts off like 60% of your potential market potential. Third parties prop up the exclusives since the sea of people who bought your console have more options. Halo Master Chief collection with third party titles like Dragon Age, Far Cry and others combined will help the Xbone past the Wii U until the big exclusives of next year. Nintendo failed to get consumer interest in them by the end of their second year on the market when their competition was at its weakest. When the exclusives build up and the cross gen games dry up Nintendo is more than screwed there.
