I've said this before and I'll say it again, power is not the reason 3rd parties left the Wii U.

Is not the only problem but yes lack of power is the main reason as to why the wii u lacks third party games

No, it is not the main reason. Fifa 15 got put on the freaking Wii and 3DS, but skipped Wii U.

CoD AW got put on 360 and PS3, which are both weaker than Wii U.

Dragon Age: Inquisition, same deal with CoD AW.

Pretty much every third party game that I'm going to name it will be the exact same thing. They were put on the 360 and PS3, therefore, power is 0% of why those games weren't on the Wii U.

 

Power however IS the reason games like Star Wars Battlefront is not getting put on it.

SO, the reason third parties don't put their games on the Wii U is because they are too lazy to develop something for the Gamepad (which technically they don't have to) and because it won't sell a ton. It'll sell enough to pay for the costs of the port and still earn profit... 

Even if they lost money, the profits coming from other platforms would obviously cover it.
