Power isn't the reason either, Wii U is more powerful than PS3/360 yet it didn't get Metal Gear Rising, Bioshock Infinite, Dead Space 3, Crysis 3, Colonial Marines, Grand Theft Auto V, Lost Planet 3, Tomb Raider, Dead Island: Riptide, Saints Row IV, Devil May Cry, Army of Two , Lightning Returns, Battlefield 3, Battlefield 4, Battlefield: Hardline, Metro: Last Light, Need for Speed Rivals, Advanced Warfare, Assassin's Creed: Rogue, Fuse, Grid 2, Remember Me, XCOM Declassified, Madden 25, Madden 2015, FIFA 14, FIFA 15, Lords of Shadow 2, Thief, Stick of Truth, Dark Souls 2, Ground Zeroes, Wolfenstien: New Order, Ultra Street Fighter IV, Diablo III, Destiny, Aliens: Isolation, Borderlands: Pre-Sequel, Evil Within, Dragon Age: Inquisition, Far Cry 4, Shadow of Mordor.

All major 3rd party releases in 2013/2014 that came to PS3/360 but not Wii U.

Power was the main reason nobody bought a Wii U on launch so none of these franchises came. Most gamers were expected a console that was at least several times more powerful than the 360/PS3. Instead it was a console on the same power level with issues on several launch titles. The launch titles didn't give a compelling reason for 360/PS3 owners to buy a Wii U so the console bombed. It didn't help that the only third-party exclusive that was to be released on mid 2013 and that every one was interested in was delayed several months and ported to the 360/PS3.

Many of those games released in the launch window (first few months) so by the time 3rd parties found out Wii U wasn't selling well, these games would have already been nearing completion. That means sales had no bearing on whether or not many of those games came to Wii U, because they were never planned for Wii U to begin with. That's why the people saying all Nintendo needs to do is make a console that's more powerful than PS4 and everything will be fine are extremely niave.
