You guys are talking about business health. I'm talking about their portfolio. Before Nintendo they were making; After Nintendo they're still making Xeno  games. They're still making the same games. 

By this point they should be hand picked to introduce a brand new Nintendo IP that will stand with the Legacy ones. By this point they should be leading development on a ZELDA game, not backend grunt work. At the vey least the should have more than one active IP... c'mon. Those are signs of a growing studio.

Yeah, as someone who doesn't care for Xenoblade (but watched my son play it on Wii and saw the potential), I really think Nintendo should let Monolith try something new.

Perhaps Xenoblade is what they want to make, and Nintendo's simply letting them do it. Unless there's some evidence on it, I don't think we can assume that Nintendo is commanding them to stick with the series.
