That's true. Other than Zelda, I care nothing for most Nintendo exclusives, but I'd like to play ZombieU. It is literally the only Wii U launch game that makes me want the system (not including "launch window" games). It looks like a blast, survial horror from last generation done right on a console.
However, I don't think it will be a killer app for gamers who have a PS3/360, but rather a good title that adds to the critical mass of core titles on the Wii U. Kind of like with the 3DS, it's going to take several quality games to push a lot of people over the edge. Real, true killer apps are rare things, so that's not an insult at all, it's just not something you usually see with an new IP, especially in a niche genre.
Ports and multi-platform franchises are going to do nothing to lure core gamers who aren't Nintendo inclined already, but if the Wii U keeps adding titles like ZombieU, then I think it's going to be hard to resist down the line.
