Umm Cameron himself has managed to beat Titanic with Avatar. By almost a billion to boot if wikipedia can be believed.

 

He would be the exception to this rule but even there, I don't Avatar was quite the pop culture phenomenon that Titanic was. It benefitted a lot from higher ticket prices (especially the 3D markup). JK Rowling and Harry Potter is a more apt comparision ... fairly unlikely Rowling will ever top Harry Potter even if she writes a book 10x better. Things like that are just hard to repeat. 

What I'm getting at is that it may seem like a tall order but it can be done.  Even Apple managed 3 hits in a row.  Give Rowling some time.  I'm sure once she gets her more adult stuff out of her system and targetting the younger audience again that she might find success.  

Nintendo really just needs to go back to what made the Wii so successful.  A large part of that was the simple and intuitive controller. I can't even think they were trying to replicate the Wii's success looking at the huge and terrifying gamepad.
