There's also the problem of their recognizable mascots and the quality of their games.

It was like this with the N64, the GC and it's the same with the Wii. Why buy a different platformer when you can buy Mario Galaxy? Why buy fighting games when you've got SSBB coming up? Who isn't waiting for Mario Kart? Why should another developer try to beat these games, when it's almost certain these will be million-sellers? So they just port games they've already got on their hard drives. It doesn't cost them anything except printing them on new discs. And the 30k they sell earns some profit.

On the other hand, quality games don't sell well for the same reason. Why buy Zack & Wiki -a game that you heard was good- when Super Mario Galaxy -a game you've been hearing about for the last 15 months, and one you know is good- is sitting right next to it?

And even though I've got some more games than DarkMaster talked about in his post, I agree with him. These are the best games we've got on Wii (some on any platform), so why settle for less, for the same price?

Nintendo's problem is themselves.
