I don't think the author of this text realises that there isn't really such thing as a "Mario" game - there's New Super Mario Bros, Mario Kart, Paper Mario, Mario 3D Land, Mario Tennis... all of these games are completely different genres- the only similarity between them is that they all star the character of Mario (and this acts as some sort of quality control, since pretty much all Mario games are 5* material). Nobody buys all of these games, so as long as the quality of Mario games doesn't drop as a result of so many games being released with his name on them, the author is, quite frankly, being a bit of a moron here.

This ^^

The guy righting the article has also forgotten that Nintendo have released several new IPs this gen, and are a nice healthy mixture of titles appealing to the casual demographic, hardcore demographic and mainstream demographic. Wii Sports/Resort, Wii Play, Wii Fit, Xenoblade Chronicles, The Last Story and Pandora's Tower are all new IPs.
