First of all you're the one inventing this imaginary narrative that Mario Kart 8 "flopped" ... it sold 8.5 million freaking copies. 

Wii Fit U didn't even cross a million. 

These aren't even close to being similar. 

And what happened to Kinect 2? Where was the massive demand there? Or did people get tired of that idea and move on? 

Yes, so like 3 franchises in the history of the business were able to once bounce back.  So what? Does that Pac-Man and Space Invaders are also due for a massive comeback? Any day now? It doesn't mean sh*t.

For every case of something coming back en vogue there's like 10 examples of things that never, regain the same popularity ever again once peaking ... Pac-Man, Sonic, Space Invaders, Bubsy, Earthworm Jim, Ninja Gaiden, Ninja Turtles, Ridge Racer, NBA Jam, Star Fox, Toshinden, Wipeout, Soul Calibur, etc. etc. etc. were all at one time top IP in the business. 

Pssssttt. Wii Tennis is Pong.

Edit: Sonic was never considered the top IP in the business....ever. Barely recognise the other IPs you mentioned so I'll just assume you're wrong.

Space Invaders strawman - Like I said, games 'die'/evolve when they get upgraded or sidegraded. Space Invaders was outdated before NES arrived thanks to scrolling shooters.
