Sony would have  many of the same franchises from PS1 releasing on their current systems now had it not been for the fact that they can't manage to give many of their franchises the longevity that Nintendo's have, not to mention they seem to get deeper into the whole realism, cinematic thing with each passing gen. Also, Nintendo makes new IPs every gen, so yeah, don't see how they don't want to give new games a chance.

2 Voids your whole argument. If you hate that. Then you must hate every other game that's 20 years old as well. And 5. My god, that's beyond stupid. That be liek retiring COD and Halo. They make millions for a reason. Majority likes them.

They've actually had new IPS every year for the last 3 years now at least.

It's always good to hear someone "getting tired of [franchises]" even when they haven't played them and probably know little about them beyond knowing they exist. Such is the powerful influence of those franchises.

You had some balls making this thread, son.

"4. The series of Supersmash Bro is mediocre just like Mario Kart. The Motor Bike chase in FFVII is better, Power Stone, Chocobo Racing, Marval Vs Capcom, Capcom Vs SNK, Crash team racing is all better."

I love OP.

Do you think Nintendo will support that game as much as they do Mario, Pokemon, or Zelda? I dont think so... but we will see.

Nintendo doesn't decide what IPs and characters get flagship status and what gets B- and C-star status: consumers do. Nintendo had no idea Mario would become as big as he is today, and had no idea what would be bigger between Legend of Zelda, Kid Icarus and Metroid back in the NES days. The original Smash was kind of an afterthought game made in Sakurai's spare time between other projects. They never predicted it would take off the way it did, kind of like how Capcom didn't originally anticipate Street Fighter being the most well-known fighting game in the world when making SF2. Animal Crossing is another series that was a surprise success for Nintendo.

Every new IP from Nintendo starts out from humble beginnings, and then gets more and more push behind it as it sees success. The "Wii ___" series is the only one I can think of that got a serious marketing push from the get-go, and a lot of that was media driven.

Nintendo could do a better job of making you aware of its new IPs, given how often you see people saying it's all Mario, Nintendo and Zelda in this very forum. Some of them really do deserve better marketing. But when the consumers show that Nintendo has a hit on its hands, then Nintendo responds in kind.

If a forum poster not in the industry can list blunders, surely those paid to fix things can come up with a solution.

It's ok to have bad taste. I mean, you like PlayStation.
After all, people is free to like whatever they want.

And then you are going to kill Sony first party studios when people compare the quality. Finally, Nintendo leave and create their own console. Brilliant but scary, this must be Iwata's masterplan.
