it's always good for a company to support their current fanbase even if small in number. You don't want them to pull a Sega and just dive into the next generation ala Saturn etc.

This. Alienating your core fanbase can be fatal, as Sega found out the hard way. The Wii U's player base may be small, but it comprises the most faithful Nintendo loyalists, who have stuck with them brough thick and thin. If Nintendo loses them, they'll have no audience left at all.
