No. Mario is part Nintendo's food supply. Mario can't be blamed for anything.

I know it's stating the obvious but the answer lies with how Nintendo can keep the Mario breadbasket and at the same time move far beyond him, which is what this thread is about.

Would MS or Sony turn down a Mario? Hell no. So why should Nintendo push him in the background?

To maintain future success Nintendo needs it's home console to become like the x360 (in a gaming capacity) BUT WITH MARIO. The answer to accomplish this must be out there somewhere.

When or if they accomplish this, they would be the huge winners.

And we're all hoping that that will be accomplished by the Wii U =)

Would be great for nintendo if it did but I won't pin any hopes on wii u achieving this.

Hell, who knows? They might just find that magic formula.
