I mentioned this in another thread, but I'll say it once more. How many Mario games have been made? And when I say Mario games I mean any game on a nintendo platform that features Mario. Many counter argue that there have only been a few MAIN Mario games, but still, if Sony were to make Kratos KART, Kratos party, Kratos 3d, Kratos football, Kratos pinball etc I would be really pissed. Kratos was a playable character in Soul Calibur: Broken destiny and Mortal Kombat. If he's also included in Tekken 7 etc I will not bother getting the game at all.
I absolutely loved Mario 15 years ago and Super Mario Bros 3 is one of my all time favourite games. But I absolutely hate the way they milked the franchise instead of creating new ips.
Now how exactly is this hypocricy?



Yea, but Kratos KART, Kratos party, Kratos 3d, Kratos football, Kratos pinball etc would all be different type of games. Just because Mario is in all these games doesn't mean they are all the same. Mario Kart and Mario Party are very diffent games. I would rather have Mario in a bunch of different games than to have to a ton of shooters that are the same with just different names.

All I'm saying is that you can't call those who are tired of seeing new Mario games again and again hypocrites, because they don't think the same way you do. If COD fans were claiming that they hate how Sony milks Unchated you would have every right to blame them and call them hypocrites, because there are many COD games.

So your comparison is invalid. Btw, I don't like shooters at all, but that doesn't change the facts that they are not hypocrites, as they hate Nintendo not for the main Mario games, but for all the Mario games and the lack of effort to make another great (new) ip like Zelda, Donkey Kong, etc.  Different type of games or not, I would absolutely hate it if Kratos, who is my favourite Sony character, was part of every big Sony release.



This is more moving the goal post. And the comparison is perfectly valid. You are making a big deal that Mario are in all those games even though they are all very different games with very different game play. As opposed to different shooters that are different IP's that play pretty much the same. Which sounds more like rehashes? Gears of War is a shooter. Regardless if it will end with the 360 or not. It still a shooter. Never played uncharted so I can't say. But what the difference in continuing Gears or ending it only to make another shooter IP, which is most likely to happen? It might as well be the same IP.
