They are definitely ignoring certain franchises, though that comes back to a lack of development capacity, and their sudden unwillingness to farm games out to 3rd parties (except for Other M, apparently)

So what were you saying about Nintendo being unwilling to work with third parties?

Well i got pwned. Good work. I was thinking about F-Zero and Starfox, but you did rather put it in perspective.

Yeah I think there was an interview with Miyamoto where they said they didn't want other developers taking on F-zero and Starfox and wanted to make them themselves. I think the reluctance to have outside developers is with their really central frachises. I personally think F-zero was handled really well by Sega, so I think Miyamoto's main problem was with how Namco handled Starfox. I think he was quite disappointed by Namco's results with Star Fox assault.
