I have a question. OP mention, that Ninty basically doesn't have new any new IP's for 3DS...hell in General...But when they do create ones, i.e: Fling Smash, Wii Series, Steel Diver, Xenoblade, etc...How come they are over looked?

...Is it because they are IP's no one wants?

Due to how the industry has matured, it is now hard to suddenly announce a new IP into the market, and expect it to be something someone wants.  Look, for example, how many people are yelling for an update to Final Fantasy VII, for example.  What excites people now is to play what they know in new ways that excite.

This is way I ask the good peeps of VG! Thank you.

Welcome (I think).  It is amazing how people say they want new, but when the old stuff comes out, people jump all over it.  The industry is now driven to create franchises that it can milk as cashcows.  Outside of Indie games, I don't see companies funding projects to be done, unless they can produce a sequel for it later on.
