And no new franchises since Pikmin (that is before Iwata took over). Wii Sports, Nintendogs, Brain Age, etc don't count, as the 3DS proved (with Nintendogs and Brain Age), those super casual titles don't sell beyond their fads.

I confess, I've never for the life of me been able to understand this sentiment.

Count me in. How are those not new franchises. The reasoning used againt them is even bizzare. 

Not to mention that Animal Crossing 3DS counters the reasoning used.
