This! The DS and Wii were very different! DS had a second screen being a touch screen with games like Nintendogs and Brain Training, whereas Wii had motion controls with games like Wii Sports and Wii Fit. The Mario Karts and Zeldas simply piggybacked off their success, they weren't the main reason for it. Unfortunately, all that innovation has run it's course, so Nintendo is once again only left with their traditional IPs to sell their systems.

Oh really? So lack of innovation is what's killing the Wii U, i.e. repackaging the GC.

Now you're really stretching what I said there! I guess casual junk would of been a better word choice, but regardless I was obviously talking about the motion control stuff and non gamer games losing their appeal, not that Nintendo in general isn't innovative. Wii U may be selling like the GC, but game wise it's a completely different beast, so I would not call it a repackaging.
