You could be right. But it seems that anyone who says something to that effect is told how much of an idiot he is because Nintendo doesn't need to change a thing. We all knew the novelty of the Wii would wear off and it has. Wii U hasn't caught on yet but I'm not going to jump the gun because when XBOX fans were clowning me for owning a PS3 from 2007-2009 I know how silly it got.

To be fair Nintendo does seem to be changing their strategy since the Wii's release. The WiiU is much more like the Gamecube than the Wii. There 1st party is what carries them which is why many people say they don't need to change them. The thing about games like Mario and other nintendo mascots is that each game plays very different because they aren't all 2D platformers, 3D platformers, etc They make new games, they just keep the same mascots because they know it will sell well. Kind of like Halo and Halo Wars. Completely different games, just using the same name. Nintendo's biggest problem is 3rd parties, not 1st parties or even the controller. Which they also abandoned the WiiMote for showing that it isn't following the Wii strategy. I would like to see some new mascots or new Ip's from Nintendo as well that would be completely fresh but at the same time people want these games from nintendo and I understand why.
And yeah I remember when the PS3 got ridiculed. It was ridiculous for a while but in the end Sony delivered plenty of good games to make up for the first few years.
