I think their first mistake goes all the way back to N64 with RARE.

They should have bought them out JUST for the IPs, who cares i the people left as people are replaceable.

Back to the topic at hand, They need to release that 3rd parties dont give a damn about them and move on. Therefore, I agree they need to create more studios or purchase some good IPs that are going bankrupt. Another mistake, when THQ went under there was a fair few good IPs they could have picked up.

They absolutely should have bought RARE. That would have been such a terrific acquisition. And I also agree that they dropped the ball when THQ went under (though I think I read somewhere that they had picked up a few developers from that company, but I may be wrong). But the IP's were going dirt cheap; they should have snapped some of them up.

Why buy RARE for 400 million, when you can buy Retro for 1 million? (No seriously that's how much Retro cost)

Just to keep all those ips

I get your point, but I doubt those IPs were worth the asking price. None of them, save Banjo Kazooie, were beyond niche. If Nintendo could have just bought the IPs for a cheaper asking price, that would be another thing.
