I never quite understand the whining about new IPs, especially when people claim 'Nintendo don't make new IPs', which is just a blatent lie. I actually think Nintendo should make less new IPs and put more effort and funding into each one, fyi.

This gen has probably seen the biggest success in terms of new IPs since the days of the NES. Even the best selling damn game of all time is a new IP for this generation.

What are Nintendo's new IP beside Wii sport?

Wii...

Nintendogs

Tomodachi Collection

Brain/Maths/English Training

Maboshi

Disaster Day of Crisis

Xenoblade

Soma Bringer

Marionation Gear (no idea how it is spelt)

Endless Ocean

Another Code

Eco Shooter 530

Rhythm Heaven

Big Brain Acadamy

Elite Beat Agents/Oueden

Rock and Roll Climber

Captain Rainbow

Jam with the Band

Zangeki no Reinglev

Style Boutique

Fossil Fighters

Hotel Dusk

Bonsai Barber

DS Walking Device Thingy

Electroplankton

Lonpos

Mystery Millionare (something like that)

Rooms

and this is just off the top of my head. There are loads of them, just most are not that major. I could completely understand if you hadn't heard of the one or two more obscure titles in the mix

Most, nearly all, arent from Nintendo.

All true, but I don't think this situation is caused by casual market, if ever casual market is usefull for big companies, to finance other games, and for samll companies to grow.

The main problem imo is the developing cost of games which has increased too much, so companies don't want to take the risk anymore creating new IPs when it's easier to sell a well known product. This is also the reason why imo games are too short nowadays. The economy crisis is also not helping, any company in these days is less inclined to risk (not only gaming ones).

In the end I think that,while the average quality of games has increased this generation, the quality of top-games has decreased. In the last 2 years I had more satisfaction palying older games that I have originally missed than playing new ones.

It's not true. Gaming is better than it ever was. This is the best generation in history.

Depends of the type of games. For RPG this is a pretty poor generation.

Well if you're an WRPG fan I agree, I was talking in general terms, but wrpg has indeed got better this gen. But considering JRPGs, action games, adventure games, fighting games, driving games and in general new IPs, the past generation was better imo.

Okay, many people say that.

But name some past action games that are better than action games in this gen?

This gen brought us Assassin's Creed and Uncharted, Heavy Rain and Red Dead Redemtion (can't remember any more good action games this gen, someone please help me).
