If exclusives sell consoles, how come the Wii U failed? Also, why are few youtubers saying exclusives sell Switchs/PS4s but not Xbox Ones?

While exclusives matter, they don't matter as much as people make them out to be. Some 80% of sales on the Xbox and PlayStation brands are 3rd party titles. Out of the top 10 best-selling games, only 1 game is an exclusive on each console last time I checked.

Teh warz neva endz.

This isn't a relevant example for Nintendo consoles 

I don't see why we can't take anything from it. After all, they're targeting a lot of the same people. People who play games on dedicated gaming systems.

 

While Nintendo doesn't conform to much of what the rest of the industry is doing, it's still quite telling that their most successful home console is one that just happened to capture lightning in a bottle despite being in the business for the longest of time. When 3rd parties shifted to Sony after the first PlayStation.... Well... Yeah.
