I'd argue that it is not as black or white as that. The cost of porting may not be covered by the abysmal sales, sure, but Nintendo's relationship with 3rd party developers is a very big part of this. Miyamoto gave many 3rd party developers an ultimatum: develop for the WiiU alone or not at all. Nintendo has a very holier-than-thou attitude when it comes to 3rd party developers.

Read A5, paragraph 2 (*edit* paragraph 3 my bad) starting with "In terms of how we view our relationship with 3rd party developers....". I was wrong, it was Iwata who said that not Miyamoto.
I paraphrased it a bit ;) but read for yourself.
