Nintendo's reluctance to build new IP's is killing their brand

 

You have to first prove that they are reluctant to do so.

Secondly, you killed your statement my stating they have made and launched new IP's.

Third, Nintendo has a couple brands, including their own company name, which brand are they killing?

Fourth, you have to provide proof that new IPs is what is needed to revive their brand because old IP's are killing their brand.  

After two years on the market, Nintendo have only created two new IP's for the system.

Reluctant means they aren't very willing. Not that they haven't.

They're killing their company. No successful new IP is leading to fewer people buying their consoles and traditational franchises. Mario, DK, Pikmin, Zelda etc. are unable to sell enough consoles by themselves.

The proof is in the success of the new IP in driving Wii sales. More than half of the best selling games on Wii were new IP for that generation. The best selling game on PS4 and XBox1 is a new IP for this generation.

After two years on the market, Nintendo have only created two new IP's for the system.

Actually, you dont know how many new IPs Nintendo has created for the system.  

And you know do know more than two.  But they haven't launched yet.

 

Reluctant means they aren't very willing. Not that they haven't.

Yes, exactly. Now prove that Nintendo is not willing to make new IPs.

And, consider the fact they just announced a "garage" team not to long ago.

 

No successful new IP is leading to fewer people buying their consoles and traditational franchises.

That has nothing to do with if Nintendo wants or do not wants to make a new IP.

What your title should say is:  Nintendo's New WiiU IPs are not doing for it, what Nintendo's new Wii's IP's did for that system.

 

The best selling game on PS4 and XBox1 is a new IP for this generation.

Are you talking about an exclusive title for each system, or a cross gen port supplied by a third party?

If its a cross gen port from a third party, why would you compare that to an exclusive first party title?

If its WatchDogs, the WiiU is getting it.  If its Destiny, there is nothing from the WiiU from getting it except 

the third party that made it, which Nintendo can't do anything about.
