LOL, we are talking about consoles not handhelds. Pokemon is a handheld game

Pokemon has been on every Nintendo console since the N64.

Regardless, you said Mario Kart was the biggest Nintendo franchise. Period. You were wrong. Own up to it.

I think this is pretty much guaranteed, no one can ignore the continuous decline. Unless they come up with another idea their fate is pretty much sealed

You make a rookie mistake in this analysis.  There is very little data to go on.  A "continuous decline" for 3 consoles is not evidence of anything.  It may suggest something, but no one can claim confidence in what you are claiming confidence to.



Why would the most profitable company in the console business leave? This would imply that the next gen of consoles would also be the last for Sony and Microsoft. Perhaps it will be over for all 3.



Current gaming platforms - Switch, PlayStation 4, Xbox One, Wii U, New 3DS, PC

I believe Nintendo's got 2 more consoles before either a. dying or b. evolving to whatever gaming turns into during the 11th gen

Good point. I think home console gaming in the current form it is now is going to be gone given two more gens (a little over a decade). 

Yeah, console gaming as we know it probably won't be the same given a decade or so

I am pretty sure we all know I meant consoles considering what the title of this forum is.

What is Nintendo's biggest franchise? I personally thought it was going to be Splatoon (or soon will be) going by how many people on this board was going crazy over it. However, I think it floped.

I'll give a tiny hint. It starts with a P and ends with okemon. 

Get it? In fact, I'll give the top 5 franchises by Nintendo in terms of sales:

1. Pokemon

2. Super Mario

3. Mario Kart

4. The Legend of Zelda

5. Animal Crossing

Also, nice job trying to divert your false claim with a piss poor attempt at slandering Splatoon's sales (which, by the way, we only have one region so far and it exceeded almost everyone's expectations so it most certainly was not a flop). Clearly, this thread is troll bait and you're misinformed as fuck.


Wrong,super mario is above Pokemon!:p And super mario is a subfranchise,franchise is Mario(Don't split 3D and 2D mario they are both under super mario sub-franchise !:P  Also Donkey kong must be the 5th in your list....

Even then, you would be wrong. Deal with it.

I hope you're dead wrong. I'm hoping NX or whatever the new Ninty console is will be a return to form for Nintendo.

Pokemon is first. He was splitting Mario in the first place (with Mario Kart) so that's why I continued with Super Mario (which I define as all the platforming games starring Mario, 3D and 2D - just not the spinoff franchises).

Also, DK is 5th I think, you're right. I believe Animal Crossing would be 6th then.
