And how many of them have had any sort of sequel in the last few years? A lot of them had a mediocre sequel that ended the franchise. A lot of thosefranchises haven't seen a new game in 6+ years.

I count 14 IP's that had sequels in the last 6 years. Much more than your six. I don't know about some of these games, so it might be more. Add to this the completely new IPs like Splatoon, that you can't call dead if they have just released one game or not even have released the first game.

14/71 is still roughly less than 20%. I was off with my 10% remark, yes, but I'll stand by my original point of Nintendo being unable to replicate the success of games like Zelda and Mario. There are a few games that did very well, like Animal Crossing and Pikmin, but the majority are no longer very relevant now.
