It's fair to say that Nintendo's holding are in the highest of sales. But that's because their core demographic is towards children and younger audiences, and parents are more willing to buy whats popular (Mario's, Zelda's, Pokemon's etc) to keep their kids quiet and entertained.

But is it not true that the top three Nintendo franchises are a tried and true formula, that haven't been changed in nearly twenty~25 years? Is it not true not Mario is the same exact title? Albeit incorporating 3D, the NSMB games are copies of games from 25 years ago. Zelda games adapted 3D, but the new Link between Worlds game is yet another copy of games so similar to the NES days. Pokemon, pfft. You can't possibly argue that its changed since the Red/Blue days. 

The tried and true formula only works and exists because it sells to new generations of children, time and time again. They're fantastic games for new gamers, but I can't possibly imagine how fans could play the same exact formula over and over. 



All of this, of course, is just my opinion.
