Where do the Third Party/Nintendo fan issues come from?

Is it a chicken and the egg question, or is there a definite answer. 

 

Does it start with the gamers, or the games themselves? If the gamers don't buy is it the publishers fault? If the games are bad, is it the fans fault?

 

I admit I am thinking about this question with the switch looming and I'd like some thoughts on the matter. 

Trick question, nothing is ever Nintendo (or it's fan's) fault!

Dozens of publishers have made great, highly reviewed games that sold absolutely terribly on Nintendo platforms, so they don't bother making any more. The average Nintendo fan doesn't really care about third party games, but the again, the average Nintendo fan also bought a Wii U.

Examples please?
