Nintendo needs new IPs now more than ever

RE4 did pretty well on Gamecube, but that wasn't a new IP. It was an established series that had the majority fanbase on a different platform. It was also hurt by the PS2 version being announced before the Gamecube version was even released. And if Nintendo's competitors are smearing it's name then maybe Nintendo should try that too. People loved it when Sony attacked Microsoft at E3. 

You originally suggested that Nintendo should go after the same crowd that is firmly established on Sony and Microsoft consoles. Now you basically concede that this is a problem by way of refuting my point regarding the RE series.

We've already seen how well it went over when Reggie said that the Wii U has the best version of CoD. Or put another way, as long as Nintendo makes Mario, it will be easy for others to label Nintendo as kiddie, regardless of all the other games Nintendo makes (we've seen this in effect for over two decades now).

But did anyone truly believe that? And even if they did i cant imagine it was so much better that it would have made people plunk down money for a new console
