Good. I only need one Mario Kart or one Smash Bros a gen. Nintendo is better off diversifying their lineup anyway. They can't afford to run franchises into the ground like certain other developers we can all name.

Problem is that they don't on wii u at least, what new, for instance what mascot has the WII U brought (yes I know splatoon is coming). It would also be a great thing if there where not that many 2d platformers on wii U it's getting a bit sad, since the phrase Nintendo only makes platformers is more accurate than on the twins there are only shooting games, diversity is kind a dead on wii u, less on 3ds. So nNintendo might be against annual franchises but they are defenitly against doing something new, which is something Sony, Microsoft, Ubi and EA still try once in a while. 

New does not equal diverse.  A new game can be more of the same old gameplay.

Could Nintendo use some more diversity?  Absolutely.  Would they have even less of it if they were devoting resources to creating current gen sequals to Mario Kart and Smash Bros?  Also true.
