Realistically there's only so much support you can expect for a system that sells this poorly.

The Saturn and Dreamcast and Jaguar and 3DO didn't get more than 4 years of support (in real continuos way). Wii U wasn't going to either.

It's nothing personal. It's simply business, it's like being mad a theater company for pulling a movie out of the theater after 2 weeks because it's bombing and wanting to use that screen for something else.

Besides to be honest there were still a lot of Nintendo games released for the Wii U, and a lot of very good ones. It's not like they Virtual Boy-ed it. 

Systems that have trouble getting to even 15 million units sold will be phased out after 3 or 4 years. That's just how it goes in this industry, Nintendo is not a charity, they're a business. The whole "5 years or bust" thing only applies to system's that are actually successful in the first place. 

The problem is that Nintendo didn't give even the bare minimum of support to the Wii U.

Thats not fair to say at all. Compared to Sony and MS, Nintendo has released way more games for the WiiU than they have on PS4 and XB1. They also have the 3DS to think about.
