As I said before, their IPs are selling less these days.

Actually, for the most party their franchises have been selling more. Over the last 6 years Nintendo has seen more success than at any point in the past in terms of how high their franchises have been selling.

 

IPs whose sales are lower now than the previous gen:

Brain Age

Nintendogs

NSMB

Mario Kart

Luigi's Mansion

Paper Mario

Mario Tennis

Mariokart is heavily bundled. I haven't seen the sales but they I am sure because of bundles it should be around 10M+ copies. If Nintendo didnt bundle mariokart it probably would've done half that or less. That game sold like hotcakes during the Wii craze.
