When some of the 3rd party launch titles were ports of games that were already several months old, that doesn't sound like giving the Wii U a chance. It sounds like it got sloppy seconds. 3rd party tried to serve out sloppy products and got back the responses it deserved.

I'm not sure if this is a strong Nintendo fan perspective, but it sounds like an attempt to shift blame to those who actually went out of their way to release games for the WiiUs launch instead of looking at the bigger picture.
I am not quite sure what else you expected devs to do. They gave the WiiU some of the biggest 3rd parties titles of the same year. CoDBo2 released not even a week after its initial release; for instance. You take a look at the PS4 and X1 releases and you will see how 3rd party titles were also released late on those consoles too (later for X1) and yet these games did not have a problem finding some user base.
If the PS4 and X1 could attract sales for these games, then the WiiU had every chance to do the same. All 3 consoles were treated to the same late 3rd party releases. Saying that these devs povided the wiiu with 'sloppy products' is not someting I can agree with here.

I guess I expected 3rd parties to give new, fresh games to entice me to buy the Wii U for their new games, and not of games already released on other consoles, some of them being released several months ago. Honestly, who would want to buy a game again when they may have played it before on a different console? I wouldn`t. The main drive for a new console would be to buy new games to play, and not older games from other consoles. Yet, that is what they did, and to not much surprise, sold poorly.

Last of US, GTA 5, GOW collection say hi. There is a market for rereleases if the game is good enough and not everyone had the system it was released on it will sell we have dozens of examples.
