They're great but I have yet to see evidence that it is a deal breaker/maker as far as the mainstream goes.

Oh it's definitely not a deal breaker/maker for the mainstream. I can't remember the exact percentage of people that typically go for achievements but I'm sure it was only in the single digits so it wouldn't make much impact to hardware sales. It is worth mentioning though that those few that do usually have significantly higher game attach rates than the mainstream and (often, but not always) have lower standards when it comes to games, hence Rol's 4th point. Looking at the sales Sony were able to rack up with something like Sound Shapes largely because of trophies, just imagine what Nintendo could do if they combine that with one of their well known IPs.

Yes, Nintendo wouldn't be less-than by using them. I feel like they can only make a system and games better, if anything. But I think Nintendo must have an idealistic stance against them. They have always been very hard core about the player having the experience THEY wanted said player to have. Remember the Game Genie lawsuit?
