I don't hate Nintendo but why don't they create new quality IPs?

You might want to look at Wonderful 101's sales it'll probably answer your question.

I look at The Last of Us' sales and I don't understand your answer. Unless you're especifically talking about Nintendo crowd and Nintendo games. In that case, I look at Xenoblade's sales and I still don't understand your answer.

Well since he was asking about quality IPs I assumed he didn't count any of Nintendo new IPs this past generation as "quality" (even though Xenoblade is one of my favourite games ever T_T) otherwise he wouldn't have asked the question. Usually when people make this statement about Nintendo they refer to them not making AAA budget games like Last of Us or Bioshock: Infinite. Whilst W101 may not be an AAA game (I think) it's the closest thing Nintendo have done recently as I recall Plantinum Games saying it had the largest dev team and development cycle compared to any of their other games. Also the director of the game said that the game had a higher budget than Bayonetta which is considered an AA - AAA game.

On the other hand my sterotypical assumption on the user's term "new quality IPs" could be wrong and Eternal might be clueless about Nintendo and is just reiterating some erroneous statement commonly articulated by Nintendo slanderers. I however think Nintendo create more desirable new IPs than Microsoft and Sony combined (subject to personal preference). Nintendo do nonetheless create new IPs frequently, that is fact.
