Lets do a fact check - which is quite easy as there are not so many cross platform titles out there.
Skylanders and Disney Infinity are the biggest ones which are available on Wii U, XOne and PS4.
Everybody here can lookup the sales database and do the math.
Taking the last generation into account too the picture gets even more clear: its the Nintendo consoles which have the highest attach rates.
It hurts Skylanders big to not be able to release on the Wii anymore. As it has "grown up" on the Wii.
But it is simply astonishing how many they sell on the Wii U given the much smaller hardware base.
This tells something: any Third offering a unique experience appealing to Nintendos customer base can be successful.
They just have to tailor the experience instead of "just porting".
It speaks for itself that most developers either can't do that or have doubts in their ability to do that.

It tells that kids games sell on Nintendo consoles.

For cross platform games kid friendly games will sell better than mature games on wiiu. That's a known fact. Yes there are adults who are so passionate about Nintendo that they only buy Nintendo consoles but most core gamers who buy a wiiu will also have an xbox one, ps4, or pc and you're gonna buy cross platform games on they system with better graphics in most cases. Most households which only have a nintendo system are ones buying it as a family system which results in kid friendly 3rd party games selling reasonably well on the system. For a mature game to do well on nintendo it's gotta be exclusive. If I could have bought bayonetta 2 on my ps4 i would have done so.
