to me nintendo is neither a good harware nor software maker because good software makers don't need to rely on consantly recycling their main trademark just because a lot of people these days are stupid enough to buy the same thing over and over again. nintendo may be a good money(business)maker but to me they sure as hell are not a good game dev.

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.

oh yes it does because, no matter how much you polish them and how many people like them or not, if you still (have to) rely/depend on mario and zelda, after about 30 years as a gaming developer, you're pretty damn pathetic.
