Maybe it is because people like their franchises and they find them fun that they re-invest in them again and again. Maybe it is also because Nintendo puts a lot of focus and polish into the actual gameplay itself. Why would you through perfectly goods IPs (be they characters or gameplay styles) away, especially ones that play a major role in the entire gaming culture, just because your competitors are doing something different. By the way Nintendo has released a new IP and re-imaginations on the gameplay of existing IP in almost ever generation, many of which have reasonated well with gamers, just because you do not like them does not make the company a bad game developer.
