I actually don't get why it is such a huge issue for some people that third parties are being cautious about the success of a new console. There's never any guarantee that a console is going to be a profitable platform for a developer, and even if it would have been a success in Japan, one region isn't enough to justify a huge support for any console outside of niche titles and genres.

The thing is, did you ever hear something like that for Playstation or Xbox? It's always just Nintendo who has to prove it's selling well first. Which is difficult because since they hold back their games, Nintendo lacks games and thus is not selling well. Nintendo is condemned to sell on it's first parrty titles early on, or else their console fails because everybody else is holding back. if the same had happened to the PS4 and Xbox ONE, they would have crashed and burned after Knack and Ryse flopped saleswise. Ps360 got plenty of games despite each of them selling quite badly for 3 years straight yet nobdy pulled the plug or questioned if they should continue to support them, on the other hand the Wii, who outsold the other 2 consoles combined at that time, still got little support.
