The one thing you have to hand to Nintendo is their ability to take that specific IP and Make it successful no matter what. Not many publishers can say the same.

I’m sorry what? When was the last time Nintendo made a new IP that was critically acclaimed and a huge seller? 

Free read the comment, in context.  Nintendo has successfully ridden Mario, is the point.
