I think they did that because of the great success of the wii. That console sold 100mio so it was worth the risk (if wii u would be as successfull they could made alot money on it).
I doubt a Nintendo console, thats a successor of an 13mio sold units machine that already prooved them nintendo fans dont buy their games on nintendo hardware will make them releasing their IPs again on a nintendo console BEFORE it prooved to be successfull.
Sure if the NX will sell 15mio + units first year AND is capable for playing ps4 games they will start porting their games. The third party support for the wii also started AFTER the wii already was a success (Call of Duty 4 and co skipped the system first, got released later).
But i doubt a ps4 like machine made by nintendo without third party support in the beginning will be able to even get successfull, though.
So its pretty much a "doom loop".
Only chance for nintendo is to NOT rely on third party support and that failed with the wii u. If they make a wii u like device thats also portable, gets double the amount of nintendo games AND is just half priece of the wii u = success is likely. And then they even might get some third party games like fifa.

they did it because all major consoles get decent support at launch because those publishers dont want to miss out in case the device is a success.
its not just a successor to a 13 million selling console, its also a successor to a 58 million handheld if its a unified platform, so its a successor to devices with a 70+ million install base.
but i agree that Nintendo cant rely on 3rd party mainstream western support and shouldnt bend over backwards for them.

Just curious, if the NX comes out and actually isn't a unified platform,. and is a Wii U replacement only, how long will you spend apolizing on this site?
