But EA have not been doing it for 25 years and at least they do try something new every now and then.

You are kidding yourself if you think Nintendos IPs are even vaguely different. Get a platformer which isn't and IP that is 25 years old....oh, not possible. They sell more because owners have no choice! If you want a platformer, you better buy Mario or you get nothing.

Yeah because DKC doesn't exist and is as good or better than Mario (and both are better than any other platformer... with Rayman's last two being a close set).

Sure Nintendo doesn't make certain genres like FPS... but they offer continuous quality and new gameplay each and every time.

Just take 2D marios and you'll see that they are completly new games with each iteration. Offering new ways to play a similar core idea. New challenges, new suprises, and new gameplay. Just the core idea of primary characters and platforming is continued.

Its kinda the reason Mario has never died off where Mega Man, Sonic, have gone away.

Really, 2 IPs being 25 years old somehow trumpts the crap from EA?! Sorry, it really doesn't as...they're both 25 years old.

Their quality is subpar. The games are pretty bug free.....because they are so simple and old. They add no game changing mechnics whch are adopted by the genre or anything, hence why they have their niche little market and that is it.

At this rate though, Mario is dying off. Clearly few people are now interested in it.
