    It's Nintendo's job to attract developers to its hardware. The Infinity, PS4, and PC are all going to be using the same basic architecture. Third party devs can make games for all three relatively cheaply. But porting it to the Wii U takes more time and money. At the end of the day, it's more profitable to bring products cheaply to 3/4s of the market, then to spend a lot to bring it to 1/4 of the market. What I hear from some gamers is "I'll buy the Wii U for all of Nintendo's exclusives, and an Xbox or PS for CoD, Halo, etc". For Nintendo, that's TERRIBLE! The last thing any business wants is for customers to hand over money to their competitors. If Nintendo wants to make money, they want gamers to buy [b]only[/b] their console, and [b]only[/b] games on their console. And a good way of doing that is to have third party devs make games for their console. Yeah, LolEA and all that, but this is Business 101: Get people to buy your shit and not the other guy's shit. And the more good-quality games you can get onto your console, the better. And nevermind the fact that Nintendo missed the boat on both online gaming and HD gaming. Beat the hell out of the Xbox 1 all you want, but it was the first HD console and it brought online play to the masses back when that was considered PC only.
