The article is specifically talking about the Nintendo Wii, I assumed that everyone else in this thread was also talking about the Nintendo Wii. So when I mention Nintendo in my post in this thread, I'm obviously referring to Nintendos performance on the Wii.

Xenoblade, Wii series, The Last Story and Endless Ocean are the only Wii IPs you mentioned. Xenoblade has only been released in Japan with no Western release scheduled and The Last Story hasn't been released yet, so no one knows if it's going to be any good or not. Your post proves my point and unless you try a littler harder I will remain convinced that Nintendo have put little effort into introducing new IPs this gen.

But if you add qualifiers, then I can knock off most of the HD games you listed using various means.

And why is a new IP so vital? You need a solid game as well, and Nintendo is not going to make a new IP just for the sake of it. And so far you haven't given a reason to have a new IP other than for the sake of it.

true, if you make up some qualifiers with that intent you could, but I think his qualifiers actually make sense.  Every game he listed besides perhaps Crackdown (don't recall for that one) was extremely well received and are widely regarded as great-fantastic games.  You can't say the same for games that haven't even released over here yet.  If he used your qualifiers he'd have an even bigger list.

But a lot of the games weren't even made by them, and not even second party, so I could have qualifiers that make sense. Gears would have to be dropped since it was made by Epic, drop Mass Effect as made by Bioware, drop Resistance as Insomniac is not actually a second party of Sony.

you could, but you'd have to drop Elite Beat Agents, Last Story, Endless Ocean, Trace Memory, Hotel Dusk, Glory of Heracles, and Professor Layton.

Not Xenoblade?
