Aye, I agree. Even when Nintendo had the highest install base with the Wii, any or all of the other factors you mentioned made it less appealing to third parties.
That's why I blame Nintendo more so than the third-parties but I am not saying that the third-parties are totally blamesless. But again as you said it's business.
If I was CEO of a half-decent Game Software company would I seriously consider the Nintendo platform for any A titles let alone AAA? No. Shovelware and party games, yeah.
