No new IPs this generation when you ignore the biggest-selling new franchise ever? Really?

Damn, I could have sworn they made Endless Ocean, Cosmic Walker, the Art Style games, the Brain Age games, Nintendogs, Disaster: Day of Crisis... none of them got made, hm?

Again the most succesful ones on your list owe their success to the innovation in technology , i'm not sure a mere iteration or spin off of Brain Age , Nintendogs etc will continue to make profits for Nintendo in 5-12 years.

The others i've never heard of before.

Yup, Nintendo is always doomed. Even when they are the industry leader and have IP's dating back to the Atari 2600 years (Mario and donkey kong) they are doomed and doesn't have enough IP's.

(guess who inspired that comment, lol)

You're completely missing it if you think that's his point.

He's saying they haven't made any new ips that can be used on a future console. (The Wii series can't be reused on anything other than Wii 2 which isn't likely)

Why not? So they name their next console the Xen for example, couldn't they come out with Xen Sports and Xen Fit?

They revived Punch-Out!!, Sin and Punishment 2 is coming next year, new IP's include the yet to be announced Retro title and Project Sora title, Monado: The Beginning of the World is a New IP by Monolith Soft, Mario Kart was reinvented this generation and will be a huge game for the next Nintendo console, I can only imagine the hype now.. It'll be massive..

to me youre missing two big ones right now

PROFESSOR LAYTON.

- that IS this gen, and it can go on forever as far as I'm concerned

BRAIN AGE.

- also this gen and can go a LONG way for them, as in forever.

Professor Layton is over.

Three new games were announced in the series. The first one is a prequel. Source

A large portion of Nintendo's most successful franchises started out as little more than a fleshed out tech-demo, and when Nintendo was able to re-invent them in each generation to take advantage of the new technologies they had they became icons.

Additionally, sony is known to milk and dilute franchises so they do not last all that long. Crash Bandicoot springs to mind, as do Oddworld, Spyro, Driver, etc.

Nintendo creates less new franchises but, they do stay fresh enough that people demand them 20 years after the first release

Nintendo's first party titles have been and always will be the driving force behind their consoles. They haven't yet created the new Mario or Zelda some people long for, but they don't yet have to. I do not see this changing.

Brain Training
Nintendogs
Wii Sports
Wii Fit
Excitetruck/bots
Takt of Magic
Cosmic Walker
Span Smasher
Dynamic Slash
Trace Memory/Another Code
Modano (Monolith RPG)

Are new IPs, no?

You can make the argument Sin & Punishment may as well be a new IP too since the first game really did not get a wide release.

You can also say the 2D Mario and Punch-Out franchises have now been brought back from the dead.

They don't even have to create new IP's if they don't want to since they have, what? like 100 of them?



If it isn't turnbased it isn't worth playing   (mostly)

For Thee, my Lord, for Thee. Power hath descended forth from Thy hand, That our feet may swiftly carry out Thy command. So we shall flow a river forth to Thee And teeming with souls shall it ever be. In Nomine Patris, et Filii, et Spiritūs Sancti. -----The Boondock Saints

Oh btw million, you are quite naive. the other developers didnt create most of the ips you mentioned(GOW, LBP), they just paid the rights to other developers.Big diference.Anyone can do that, and even nintendo if they run out of imagination.

Gears Of War was an error but Sony does own all the I.P's listed above included LBP.

They have exclusivity contracts that do expire over time, over ALL the titles you could name, not owning any of them.The worst part is that you have to face the fact that this is just a matter of money.If nintendo had few imagination values like SCEA or MS, they would have to do like them just pay for exclusivity rights.Which is pretty sad and i hope they never resort to that(just paying cash)...

Look at it this way, Nintendo made franchises like Mario Kart have outsold all your 2nd-3rd party examples.By a lot.MK ds and MK wii has sold around 30 million copies.

Nintendodogs is a 1st party nintendo new ip, selling much more than any title you can think of the others.Endless oceans, professor layton(going by your IP property logic), Sin and Punnishment is not new, but certainly wasnt milked much.

 

So if Nintendo and their owned teams(such as retro) EVER had problems with their own titles selling, they could always go the easy way and pay for exclusive rights.I hope they never go that way.

What you want for nintendo is to degrade itself to a mere publisher like Sony and Microsoft.I  own a PS3 and i still havent owned a game done by them.Nothing.MG4, LBP, Infamous...Nothing done by scea.
