i know you want to go into a "Sony vs Nintendo exclusives sales battle" but that has little to do with the point. to get new audiences that you dont have you need to create new content. chances are if somebody didnt play the last 10 mario games, he wont play the next one. fresh new software helps attract new consumers, its not a hard concept to understand. 

Nintendo does not have unlimited ressources. If they don't do Mario, Zelda and Smash  Bros, their sales would be even worse. The Wii U would be dead.

they literally made billions and billions from Wii/DS. they certainly had enough money to invest in more, bigger, and highly ambitions new IP's alongside making new Zelda and Mario games. 

Nintendo made Xenoblade and are founding X, they have founded W101, they are founding Devil Third, they are doing Splatoon and founding Bayonetta 2.

None of them will sell 20% of what Mario Kart 8 will sell. Period. The casual game era success is over (Brain Training) and the games Nintendo are founding add variety but bring no commercial success.

Nintendo would be dead doing new ip instead of the games his fans want to play.
