Exclusives aren't that important. Yeah, I said it. WiiU said it too.

Here's what IS definitely important, I'm about to blow your mind. You ready?: games people want to play.

The best-selling titles on the PS3 and 360 weren't exclusives, they were multi-plats: CoD, GTA, Sports games.

 

In addition, I recall in the early months of the gen, the X1 had a few more exclusives than the PS4 did. How'd that work out?

But Nintendo continues to make console hardware including the WiiU because of their exclusives.  Nintendo's primary credibility is their ability to crank out quality first and second party titles.  So even with the relative failure of the WiiU, Nintendo is still in the hardware business because consumers want to play their GAMES which happens to be exclusives.
