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.

not trying to be mean here, but just correcting a mistake, its funded, not founded. found is the past to find.

as far as our conversation goes, yes, they did fund W101, and i am not saying that they didnt. isnt X part of the Xeno series? and devils third honestly looks like a sub par low budget game, and thats my point, they dont let their best teams make their biggest and most ambitious projects. 

@bolded: they need to do both, because obviously, their fanbase is no where near enough, WiiU will be the worst selling nintendo console ever, if they want to attract new consumers, they need new IPs.
