Nintendo doesn't need to make new IP's, they need to manage their current ones

Ya in the last few years we have seen the revival of Kid Icarus, Luigi's Mansion, Star Fox, Pilotwings & Pikmin while seeing new additions like Splatoon, Nintendo Land, Captain Toad, Codename STEAM, Pushmo, Steel Diver

They need to continue and expand on this.

Simple aint it? Took my 5 seconds to find that and that person called me ignorant. 

And now, I'm actually 100% sure that even Microsoft has more IPs than Nintendo. And both Microsoft and Sony have been in the industry for less time.

Nintendo has produced close to 80 new IPs since 2000 but they do so many smaller ones. Wikipedia is so off it hurts. In that PlayStation topic I listed off a shit load of IPs. I won't get into a big thing about it but Wiki misses stuff like Disaster Day of Crisis or Captain Rainbow,Cruis'n and Eternal Darkness. All Nintendo IPs as is Fatal Frame now. Nintendo gives more attention to a select few IPs maybe too much sometimes as well we have this stigma Nintendo only makes the same stuff. This list is old now and since gotten more new IPs http://nintendoenthusiast.com/article/updated-75-new-nintendo-ips-since-year-2000/

Since this we got stuff like Splatoon and Wonderful 101 and Pushmo.

That's a better list but I think quite a few of of those games aren't owned by Nintendo, just published. But as of now I think the total would be around 70-80 IPs.

I believe there are some flaws in the Sony IP list as well, it has Popolocrois & Q Bert on there.

The most recent Popolocrois title was a 3DS exclusive and the most recent Q Bert title is on iOS/Android/Steam/XBO in addition to Playstation.

I just have a hard time believing those 2 IP are owned by Sony, outside of that there a a bunch of games on that list where Sony only published them in one region like Afrika & Blade Dancer so its hard to tell if they infact own them.
