This. Third parties constitute 60-70% of a consoles overall sales. They are the true console sellers.

Thats all Nintendos fault.

I honestly think it will be a big help. The Nintendo first party is top of the line, top notch quality games but it almost requires another consoles for a vast majority of multiplats, or a good PC.

Only GTA V.
If nintendo had made a deal with take two, and bundled it with wii U for 300$, and put a self studio to port the game , making also some exclusive content (like a pikachu car, mario easter eggs), and a good gamepad feature (like an optional ps1's GTA view angle in the gamepad), it could sell some hardwares.

In GTAV launch, ps3 and x360 hardware boosted to 300k each or more, Wii U could get part of these market. And, i think it could sell 1 to 2 million at least in software sales.

If 3rd parties released full versions, or kept prices equal to, and released games when they should have been released, yes, it could have helped. Almost every 3rd party release was gimped in one way or another. Missing features, missing the latest graphics engines entirely, or came out at a time when the trilogy came out on competing platforms for the same price, or came out later and still missing features, or came out at the same time, but costed $10 more than the ps360 version(deus ex). The shaft is long....

I've said it before, gamers are far too informed to buy these half asses third party efforts, even though it would seem that those dumbass companies think wiiu owners are clueless.
