If one Nintendo franchise had to bite it.

ratchet and clank has a little steam left.....but its fading for me. Many loved tools of destruction but....i just didn't feel it T.T

I didn't say it was killed off i think it needs to be killed off. I think it needs to near it's end.

Oh I see what you meant.  Sony is in the same boat with R&C as Nintendo is with Mario.

Yeah exactly. Ratchet and Clank = Good Game    Super Mario Galaxy = Good Game

But how many times have we seen these characters used? How much has really changed? Okami is the biggest example of this. My god that was an amazing game, but I think some of the platformers out on both the ps2 and Wii derived from it. No one heres about it cause all the marketing goes into the tried and true games like Mario.

Transplanted edit for visibility: 

But still, all you really said above is that there are more fresh new franchises in a market without any old ones.  Um, yes? 

Fortunately, if the old ones get stale they generally become unpopular and get replaced.  That pretty much happened with Crash and Spyro, even though a small zombie of each franchise may still be shuffling around.  It's your misfortune that you apparently have a much higher definition of fresh than most.
