to those claiming Nintendo needs to make more new IPs:
Do you know how many they have made this generation? It's loads, off the top of my head I can name: Disaster: DoC, Xenoblade Chronicles/Monado, Elite Beat Agents/Oueden, Jam with the Band/Daigasso, Brain Training/Age, Big Brain Academy, Nintendogs, Wii...., Maboshi, Soma Bringer, Line Attack Heroes, The Last Story, Zangeki no Reinglev, Marionation Gear, Another Code/Trace Memory, Hotel Dusk/Last Window, Captain Rainbow, Pandora's Tower, and probably loads more I've forgotten about. In the 8th gen already, we've seen Steel Diver.
What Nintendo needs is not to make more new IPs (they could get away with making many fewer), but to instead put more marketing and development muscle behind each one. They need more new high profile, so called 'hardcore' IPs, that can sell more than 800k or 1m worldwide, not just new IPs in general (they are already doing this a lot), this gen the only one that fits that criteria is probably the Last Story. They need the equivalent of an Uncharted, and by that I don't mean a TPS, but a new IP that has the potential to sell over 1m and that caters to the so called 'hardcore' audience. I find it hard to believe that people want Nintendo to make many more new IPs, they should instead change their culture towards the nature of those New IPs that they do release.
