It was an oppurtunity window though .... one of the great failures of the Wii in retrospect I think is that Nintendo did not take advantage of that period in 2006-2009 in particular to create a new hit character IP.
If they were ever going to find a new FPS IP for example ... that would've been the time, but alas a lack of vision. Metroid Prime 3 didn't even sell so well.
Red Steel 2, sadly also missed the bus. Sold a meager 270,000 copies despite being a better game, by that time the Wii market had shifted from a red hot product for everyone to basically just the casual machine and gamers had ear marked the 360/PS3 by then for "real" shooters.
When a window of oppurtunity opens, you have to be ready to take advantage.

I wasn't talking about the market side of things, I was talking about my own enjoyment.
And Prime 3 is the third best selling game in the series.

It's all relative I guess. I hope NX is better than the Wii-Wii U era in general.
I'm kinda tired of the same paradigm ... IMO EAD Tokyo is the only Nintendo studio really at the top of their game right now.
