You should go back and look at Wii U stuff, they specifically were trying to build the bridges that they wrecked during the GC/Wii years with third parties.
I mean, if we were still gaming on the 360 and PS3, the Wii U would've done great.
The Wii actually had a shite ton of third party support and a lot of exclusive titles that didn't get released on any other console, but after awhile the thing just died. I don't know how well the console exclusives were selling, and once the PS2 died, they stopped porting over stripped down AAA titles like The Force Unleashed.

People didn't buy the 3rd party games in big numbers for WiiU b/c damn near all of them were sloppy half assed ports that never got basic things like DLC support. Often 3rd party games would come out so many months after it was already discounted on other systems. Who is going to buy a $50 gimped version of a game when you can get a GOTY version for $30? The few that were console specific from big developers were barely advertised and generally treated as afterthoughts. This behavior by the major 3rd parties has been going on since the tail end of the Gamecube days. Sure, they have sold less on Nintendo systems but it's kind of a self fulfilling prophecy when you release lesser versions of games that you can get for cheaper on other platforms.
