What's irritating is that because Nintendo doesn't have their version of Assassin's Creed or Uncharted you guys feel that their line up is sorely lacking. But games Nintendo makes aren't saturated in the marketplace! It's easy to be dismissive when you say Mario, Zelda or whatever but Nintendo is a very Japanese company and their games tend to lean more towards that style of play. 

I think people confuse wanting Nintendo to make new IP's with just making their IP''s appeal to more western gamers as a whole. Because Nintendo will create new franchises and most of them will undoubtedly have a very heavy Japanese overtone, which focuses on games being fun and not just matured themed like many western developed games.

Zelda BoTW is a perfect balance of where they need to take more of their franchises, but in no way shape or form should Nintendo lose the identity of what makes the games unique and fun. Let Sony focus on the story driven linear games, but everyone shouldn't make those types of games just because it's mainstream to do so...

The West has over 10 times the population of Japan. Targeting games at a more Western audience is simply good business sense. This is the approach Sony and Microsoft have taken, and as a result PS4 and Xbox One have trounced the Wii U.

Listen I agree that the western market is bigger than the Japanese, but I would rather Nintendo do games like Splatoon which puts their take on a online multi-player king of the mountain experience. Zelda BoTW is a good indication of Nintendo making an open world adventure, but in no way would I want them to clone some other game.

I like new IP's as much as the next person, but most of Nintendo's IP's that they barely touch are sought after to revisit more so than just creating something new. Kid Icarus could easily be Nintendo's hack-n-slash God of War franchise and I would much rather they do something with that IP than create something similar. These established franchises have history and value that not a lot of Sony games hold up during the test of time. This is also why SmashBros is such a hit because these characters have value...
