I don't really buy the argument that the number of people who are interested in Nintendo IP has gone down significantly, I don't think Wii U is proof that people no longer like Nintendo, more like when Nintendo doesn't adapt to certain changes in the market and makes a plethora of mistakes than their platform will suffer which means Nintendo IP won't reach their potential sales. |
That's the thing though, it isn't just their hardware that has failed to adapt to the market, but their software as well.
People still want Mario Kart and Smash Bros, but they no longer want an almost entirely E-rated lineup. They want more diversity than that, yet Nintendo's output remains extremely homogenous.
