not particulary first party titles(though maybe making new ip possibly) but it's kind of a given that exclusives can draw people to their console, hell, the main reason I  got a 360 was because of Tales of Vesperia..

Okay, I agree with you then. But Pachter is false in his solution, he mentioned 1st party games, and those generally don't attract the PS360 crowd to Nintendo, there's enough proof of that. Exclusives, yes. 1st party exclusives, safe for a few IPs here and there, or new IPs, I doubt it would have a significant impact. (Even games like Xenoblade don't attract significantly)


This party exclusives from notable conmpanies can do the trick though if they are marketed right for the consoles. Nintendo could've been that company that has every genre mature and for everyone, but they chose to stay with the games aiming at children and teens with their first party. Instead of people growing up and move on they could've stayed the primary brand for them. I think half of this has to do with Nintendos first party stance on what represents them. Looks like what they did with Rare, basically have everyone else make their mature games for them because they are it is against their good conscience to get their hands dirty themselves.

I disagree. Those games will be significant impact.  They will set the Wiiu up nicely as the second console next to either a PS4 or a Xbox 720.. It won't convert fanboys into Nintendo fanboys but it will get them to buy a system especially once they are cheaper to play the exclusive games. 


Nintendo on their own will always be in their own world. Third parties keep them up to speed with what is going on with the other consoles and the rest of the world. Without casuals full support (which they wont have nearly as much of this time) they will fail to meet those expectations and will try to fill it by going after the core Sony and Microsoft have already built. At this point exclusives are what matter. Think about that.


I agree that exclusives are what matter.  But I'm saying Nintendo will not have any problem fullfilling this demand. Think about that!
