If this were true, then Fifa, Madden, NHL, Halo and God of War and Grand Turismo wouldn't sell consoles either. But clearly, they do.


They won't carry their consoles.  Did you read everything I said?  

 

-MGS4 was amazing! But Uncharted, Resistance, Little Big Planet, Killzone, and so many more NEW games proved that this wasn't just a PS2.

I read everything you wrote, and what I found was a lack of direction in the OP, except bashing Nintendo for being less and less creative. You have no point to this thread. This is how the OP goes:

Nintendo is less and less creative, doing less and less NEW things with new or old IP's (and this thesis is supported with little evidence, that you have put together without much research), but lets NOT bring the other console makers into this because third parties. BUT, Sony did make a lot of new IP's for the PS3, and so did Xbox as well... kinda. And then you have lots of new next gen IP's that's not coming to Wii U!


You say I have no point, and yet you state correctly that my point is that Nintendo is failing to continue the creative formula that has been essential to them staying in the black more and more as time goes on. But there are some massive points you are not getting or don't understand:

1) Third parties are a valid point as many other people pointed out.  Not having The Division, The Witcher, and countless more next gen experiences is exactly why the Wii U looks like a last-gen machine.  

2) Sony DID make a ton of new IP's that did things the previous gen never did.  Remember that persistant online war with 256 player battles you had on PS2?  Me neither...

3) I am not "Bashing" Nintendo.  I am merily pointing out that rehashes of old IP's only get you the hardcore supporters (Hence the big launch numbers).  But to convinve the larger gaming audience that this new console will offer new experiences you need to actually have fresh and groud breaking games.  Nintendo used to excel at that, and that is what kept them allive when third parties abbandoned their inferior console designs.  Now they are starting to lose the one thing that kept them afloat and it really shows...
