Why is that stupid? Mario Kart is more different to Mario than God of War is to Devil May Cry or Uncharted is to Tomb Raider. It does not matter if the same character is there its a completely different game and offers completely different experience (not just a little bit different). Even NSMB is more different to Mario 3D World/land than most games not being part of the same IP today.
To me it looks like this:
There is 2 groups of people.
One group that does not want every game to be an action game/shooter similar.
And then there is the other group that does not want every game no matter the genre (fun racer. Jump n run, party "board" game, rpg) to feature the same characters.
What is more important to gaming?
Doing different things = gameplay variation or looking at different people = character variation?
