If nintendo didnt just recycle their own games, id love them just as much as i did in the days on the n64

I have to question the claim that all Nintendo does is recycle their games. If we look at the 2008 NPD list of top ten games by console, it tells a different story. It shows that fully half of the top ten Wii games were original and all but one were by Nintendo where both the Xbox360 and the PS3 had only one non-sequel each, only one of which was first party.

	1st Party Original	3rd Party Original	% Original	1st Party Sequel	3rd Party Sequel	% Sequel
Wii	4	1	50%	2	3	50%
X360	0	1	10%	2	7	90%
PS3	1	0	10%	1	8	90%
