When will nintendo learn that games centered on the mario-esque cast of characters aren't always enough. |
When their consoles stop being profitable in the long-run?

They are always going to be profitable. But that is not because people are still gaga over anything Mario. Sure, my kids want mario lunch boxes, toys, games, movies, etc. But the problem with kids, is they cannot go and buy their own stuff usually. They depend on Parents to do this, which for some, could be Birthdays and Christmas. You have to get adults hooked as well. Sure, you have the life long fan, but when you have kids with attention spans that can only accept CoD, you cannot put the same looking MArio out month after month.
What have you seen that has been incredibly original or different with recent Marios? Nothing? Maybe a few concepts here or there, but do the games look the same to jo shmoe who is 22 years old? Probably not. They like mario, but are not willing to fork out money for a system when it looks like the same thing they already have on the Wii, which they confused for the Wii U for half of the Wii U's life span.

Since you're stuck on Mario, how about I rephrase my point.
When Mario games stop selling over 10m each?
