The reasons stated are why they need to take the investment into getting their games on more platforms to sell more copies and make more profits.

Why do you think no 3rd parties care about the Wii U?  The ports aren't porfitable regardless of being on an extra platform (Batman, Mass Effect, ect), but they are time consuming.  If Wii U sales were lit, devs would be throwing shovelware on there left and right.  They won't make money off Xbox One if they can't even make their 10 million unit break even goal.  lol  The X1 port doesn't pay for itself.

Wii U is a different story all together for getting games ported to it compared to porting games between X1 and PS4 since it's vastly different in power and architecture, As an example If they need 10m to break even and they get that on the PS4 that's all good but then there is no profit in there for them but taking the time to make the games avaliable on Xbox One and PC even if the PS4 outsells them at 5/6 to 1 ratio thats an extra 1.5-2m sales on each of the platforms taking the total to 13-14m and the investment to make it avaliable on other platforms turns to profit.
