I think I'm actually of the opposite opinion on this. One of the biggest problems with Nintendo consoles is that whenever a company releases a multi-platform title, ninety-percent of the time the Nintendo console is the one console that doesn't get it. This creates a huge problem for people like me that can't afford to purchase multiple machines every generation, because now we have to gamble if it's worth it more to buy a console solely for the Nintendo exclusives, or if it's better to get a console that's going to get everything else.
If Nintendo can create a console that guarantees that it will receive most multi-platform games, suddenly the need to make a choice is eliminated, as there is only one smart choice to be made. Granted, I still hope that Nintendo will see some 3rd party titles exclusive to their system, but as far as marketing goes, even if all they can get is multi-platform titles out of them, it will still be a huge boon for their sales figures. It would definitely get me to buy one sooner than later.
