A very important factor are licensing fees. As far as I know, we never got true numbers from anyone regarding just how much money Sony, Microsoft and Nintendo take from third parties to release games on their systems. However, Minecraft being 10 $ more expensive on Wii U is a strong indicator that Nintendo wants more money from third parties. I don't believe for a second that something like this happens just because third parties don't like Nintendo or that EA isn't releasing games for the machine because they hate Nintendo. Think about it, EA for crying out loud! They love money, they would sell their own mother for it! If Nintendo wants third parties, they have to cut down their licensing fees. It minimizes the risk for third parties.
Also they will have to actively make deals with 3rd parties, staying passive isn't enough. The power of the machine doesn't matter so much, as long as it's x86 ports would be simple enough. So, because I don't have any idea about the actual licensing fees, I'm purely speculating and just can't say if 3rd parties will flock onto NX or not.
