Nintendo should push the Xenoblade series as one of their premiere exclusive franchises, to cultivate a more "core friendly" image.

Xenoblade+Metroid+Zelda as the holy Nintendo Adventure trifecta.

Damn straight. 

Nintendo have the makings of an awesome "core" lineup right there; you've got something for the RPG fans, something for the sci-fi guys, and classic adventure to top it off.

And let's not forget Fire Emblem and Fatal Frame providing support.  And then they have nice relationships with some key companies that could potentially yield more support.  Platinum, Square, Capcom, Mistwalker, all these have done exclusives with Nintendo and could likely be persuaded to continue doing so on home and handheld consoles.
