Yeah, then you quite frankly thought wrong. How many people do you think are going to buy a PS4 for the new Fifa this year? How many are going to buy one for Destiny? Right now people are buying new consoles because they're tired of the old systems, why do you think the last gen versions of cross gen games released this year are selling so much worse then the current gen ones? People just want new gear.
And the PC argument is extremely weak in this case, I don't care if you can play those games on your PC, the point is you definitely can't play them on your Wii U and that is a huge failure on Nintendos part and something they should for their next system (cause for this gen the ship's basically sailed) definitely focus on more then having at least one AAA exclusive at the end of their first full year. You might buy consoles for exclusives only, but there are a ton of people that do all their gaming on those machines and who simply don't give a damn about if a game is exclusive or not, they just want it on their system.

Yeah, still doesn't make the PS4 line-up all that great this year. Nintendo fans don't care for third party games, they don't buy them, so why should it be bad that there's no support? Even on the huge install base of the Wii, people barely bought third party games. So no, a lot of Nintendo fans aren't missing out on anything I'm afraid. I would be missing out on something if I didn't game on my PC, but I do, so there's that.
If people buy consoles for slightly better graphics on FIFA, then well, they're very easily swayed... And that's the nicest way I can say it.

Hmm...why should it bad if there's no support, maybe because the lack of support keeps anything but Nintendo fans from getting the system, which is a huge problem for Nintendo? They struck gold with the Wii, a system that was loved by the masses, but something like that isn't simply repeated as is very apparent with the Wii U, so the safer way for Nintendo to get a successful console is to actually get the core gamers on board and for that they need third parties.
And there is nothing negative about buying a new console for the new Fifa, it's simple consumer behaviour and doesn't mean someone is stupid or something, after a couple years people just want to replace their old stuff with something new an shiny. Do you think people buy new TVs because the new ones come with some exclusive TV programs they can only watch on them or is it because they just want to watch the same stuff they can watch on their old TVs with a better picture? Or to just stick with PC gaming, do you think that every time a PC gamer upgrades his graphics card it's because he literally can't play the newest games with the old one anymore or is just that he want's to be able to set the graphics up to ultra again? I'm sure that if you think about it for a second you'll be able to think of occasions when you yourself did something like that, it's normal, everyone does it.
