Unfortunately this issue has two sides. One that has already been addressed that the other console makers don't release all their big games multiplatform, the second being you don't HAVE to buy their console in the first place. It's their first/second party software, they decide whatever they wish with it. This argument could even be turned over to PC vs MAC/Linux for gaming. Developers could EASILY make games compatible with Linux/MAC, but they don't because it's THEIR choice. Nintendo could easily make their first/second party titles available multiplatform, and probably make more money, but then people wouldn't necessarily have to buy their console anymore. The 360 or PS3 would be a better choice as you'd get the more "hardcore" titles plus all of the AAA Nintendo games. Silly Game_Boy, Trix are for kids.
