"I think the point that a lot of big publishers are using estabilshed IPs right now is important. EA was the last publisher, who is not a publisher that is a games division of a larger org, to make a big push for new IP and it has not nessicarally paid off for them yet."

"How many new Nintendo IPs introduced from the GC forward have succeeded? Pickmin, sure, but not as big as their main franchises. Chibi Robo, flop. Batallion Wars, had issues, but potential as a franchise and failed. Sin and Punishment, solid game and uses the Wii controlls well, but ultimately is sucking at retail. Is line atack heroes going to do well? I doubt it. Will the new Xeno game do well, doubtful. Meanwhile Zelda and Mario sell huge every time. What incentive have we given Nintendo to branch out? Maybe we need to accept that if we want Nintendo to introduce new IPs we need to actually look at those games when they do."

"Batallion Wars, Sin and Punishment, and Pickmin have ranged from flop to realtive success, but nothing on the level of their main franchises. Nintendo is not the games division of a larger company they need to make big sales off their titles to please their share holders given how we have voted with our wallets it is no wonder they keep going back to the well."
