Devs are not going to port their games regardless of power because there's no audience that will buy their games. It will be just a waste of time. If Nintendo wants those third parties, not only power will be needed, but they must be commitent to build an installbase willing to buy those kind of games. |
Power and launch time was the issue. Nintendo needs to prepare the hardware before they launch so the third parties can prepare the games. When they made the Wii and Wii U, they made it despite the existence of third party (So really all they got were really bad downports and exclusives). The install base comes when/where the games are available. It was too late for the Wii U from the start. You cannot just make the hardware and expect the devs to downport almost to last gen level when they told you they wouldnt.
