4. They are the only ones who have the ability to milk the same franchises for 25 years, and loyal fans who keep on buying them.

well the reason that works is because they don't flood the market with them. 

*cough* Pokemon *cough*

pokemon, admittedly, is your best argument if you plan on making the case that nintendo milks their franchises. i find that one original game (XY) plus a remake (ruby/sapphire) in a single generation isnt exactly the worst example of milking that this industry has seen. i could name five franchises that are more culpable than pokemon in that regard off the top of my head. HOWEVER, last generation with white/black, white2/black2.. THAT was goign completely overboard and reprehensible in my opinion. diamond/pearl/platinum +heart gold/soul silver were perfect for the DS, so i half way agree with you. but i think if they stick to the traditional way of doing it, then that is acceptable.
