3rd party software doesn't sell well on Nintendo platforms and I don't remember Nintendo making and moves to incentive indies on their platforms.

Yeah they do, Nintendo have a developer program which provides software (like Unity) and middleware to developers, allows developers to self-publish, and set their own price for their games in the Nintendo eShop. The dev kits are also free to 3rd parties

Many 3rd parties have had their start on Nintendo systems like shovel knight, sales particulay in the Wii era have seen some amazing sales, it can often depend on the genre
