Nintendo, though they deserve criticism for a lot of things, also have done a lot of things brilliantly, especially franchise management. Contrast them with Sega, for example. Nintendo is extremely good at letting consumers know what they are getting. Even with Mario having so many games, those different franchises are consistent with what they offer. Likewise, they've managed their portable and home consoles in such a way that they do very little damage to one another. They are very separate devices with very little overlap, though if you want the full Nintendo experience, you'll need both.

It's strange to me how they're so smart in some areas but still behind in others.

I agree with your post! If they hadn't managed their franchises like they did for all these years they could have ended up with the same problems that some developers run into! (Less quality, damage to the brand) They are quite consistent in their offerings and the quality is always there.

They do some stupid decisions from time to time though xD.
