A price cut is not an automatic way to success. However, PS3 will sell better at $200 than it will at $600. That's just simple economics. Why would GTA and FF appear on the Wii? More to the point: how? DQ I could see as at least a physical possibility because Enix has never been big on technology, but I can't see Take Two or Square wanting to dumb their games down enough to fit on Wii, thus also forcing themselves to ignore Sony and/or Microsoft. If Nintendo hadn't slashed the technology, I could see more potential, but they've cut their own legs off when it comes to franchises like this. What little Sony loses in terms of third parties, they recoup it. As to exclusives, we began to see them disappearing last generation. The cost of games and ease of porting (to 360) makes that a sensible business decision. MySims has Crystal Chronicles written all over it (with the exception that FF is a worthwhile console brand), but even with that said, it is a step in the right direction for Nintendo. Nintendo had a couple good years following Gamecube launch, but we've seen very little out of them until recently aside from the perennial Mario Party. Looking at the Dec 02 TRSTS, I see 168 Gamecube games on the list (12 from Nintendo). Throw in what's going to be released next year and beyond that we already know about, and I'd assume the numbers get pretty similar.
