Well the goal likely isn't to get ports, its to merge the support of Nintendo's handhelds & consoles which would give Nintendo literally hundreds of games found nowhere else.
Wii U doesnt really prove anything as it only recieves a few truly big games per year with multiple months in between.

The Wii U is the perfect scenario.
It has probably more exclusives than the Xbox One... Anddddd... Nope. It was still a giant colossal failure.
Probably the largest failure with consoles since the Dreamcast? (Ignoring the Ouya of course.)
The 3DS also has a ton of exclusives, but even that has failed to hit the same heights as any of it's predecessors.
Fact of the matter is... There are MILLIONS of gamers who love and enjoy the likes of Grand Theft Auto, Elder Scrolls, Fallout, Call of Duty, Mass Effect, Battlefield, Batman, Dragon Age, Doom, FarCry, Need for Speed, The Witcher and (you get the point) more... And all of that simply isn't on a Nintendo Console, so those consumers buy into another platform and Nintendo misses out.
Merging Handhelds and Home Consoles game library's would be a good step in the right direction... But it is also something Microsoft and Sony and even the PC have been trending towards for years with their "Arcade" and "Indie" experiences anyway. - Mobile experiences tend to also be simpler, smaller and a more compromised experienced compared to the monolithic AAA games we have today and the price usually reflects that.
Fact of the matter is... Nintendo needs to appeal to the likes of Ubisoft, EA, Activision and more so that they can grab some marketshare by not driving gamers away due to the lack of Multiplatforms... It's why the Wii flourished thanks to casuals and then quickly floundered... And it is why the Wii U never gained any traction to begin with.
Also, pretty much every Nintendo game is on PC anyway.
Besides, the Xbox has consistently beaten Nintendo for a long time now, The Xbox 360 did so well on the back of pretty sparse exclusives... It was the place to play the Multiplats like CoD for years though.

That's probably why NX will embrace mobile rather than trying to "fight" mobile ... it'll run Android apps and games, effectively doubling (tripling?) its utility as a Nintendo machine on top of that.
Microsoft unfortunately is taking up a bunch of space in the industry doing nothing IMO, like a fat soccer mom in the middle of an elevator.
They aren't really gaining at all on Sony, but they are flooding the market with consoles, so Nintendo doesn't really have space to operate, the market doesn't need 5 consoles (XB1, XB Scorpio, PS4 Neo, PS4, and then NX too) that basically just play the same multiplat games. It's way overkill for an industry that's never even supported 3 similar platforms ever in almost 40 years of console gaming.
