Well I haven't followed the console close (played at friends and bought mine after gen...)... my biggest grief with ninty those times (and they still do that more or less) is the over use of Mario... they have Mario Tennis, Baseball, Striker, etc...
I'm seeing the day that we will have a Mario Dress and Mario Cook... my friend liked Sunshine, and love all Zelda (not sure what he thinks about this particular one) I never entered the atmosfere (probably would end up liking, but for that I would need a WiiU, because usually I just play on older consoles games that I already loved through that gen even if I hadn't the console at the time)...
But anyone thinking Ninty will go out of bussiness is crazy... even if WiiU flopped, what I really doubt (will do something between 35M - their unmovable supporters - to 75M... I would bet around 50M is the final number) wii 3DS they would see a new gen, even more because their 1st parties in home consoles ever sell well enough to keep them afloat and making more money than MS and Sony combined.
