Where is Sony's Paper  Mario, Zelda, Starfox, and Super Mario?

Different developers make different games. Further more, Nintendo HAS made Xenoblade, Last Story, and Pandora's Tower. Prime isn't a Halo killer because it isn't a Halo killer, it's nothing like Halo, and wouldn't even appease the same fanbase. Unless their marketing Mario or Pokemon, Nintendo typically sucks at it.

 

In any case, none of this is really the point. People aren't complaining about Nintendo not having an answer to Unchated, Shadow, or Halo. They are not complaining about the marketing. What they ARE complaining about, is that Nintendo isn't making hardcore games and won't be next year, which is simply not true.

Oniyide answered the first part, and I added in my posts just above this one.

Different devs make different games, but a console manufacturer must make all games. It's their job, their responsibility in order to ensure the greatest level of success. They see themselves catering to the blue ocean, it's a fail. They need to cater to both the blue ocean and the red ocean for very different reasons. It's not one or the other it's both. And Wii U wii shmu. Yes it's in their philosophy, but their vision, the means by which to get there is lost. They are still targeting Japanese aid in this regard, but they need to get some American and European talent for this. Apart from that they also need the 3rd party multi-plats, but in house, they need to look for talent that makes games like Uncharted, it's out there somewhere, and Nintendo certainly has the money to find it. Boy if I were pres for a day...

And hardcore hardshmore, it's only a name. What they are really complaining about is, why aren't we getting culturally relevant games (though some are so bone-head they lack to terms to say what they are actually looking for). It's not the blood, it's not the gore, it's the themes, think L.A. Noire, these games with a hollywood feel to them are a bounty when it comes to brand image and cultural relevance.

What exactly do you mean by being "culturally relevant" in games BTW.
