I don't even know anymore what's argued about in here. So it's okay to stop making games that the market is willing to buy (which is what Nintendo has been doing)?

It depends. Some people (a lot actually) rant about how Activision should stop milking the damn CoD franchise and pursue originality. My take is Nintendo, for some reason, is given more leeway in this regard.

Milking is the other extreme, which is making more than the market can sustain, eventually leading to a substandard product everyone is sick of.

If we go by how Black Ops is selling and how MW3 is being pre-ordered, is hard to argue that we've reached critical mass.
