As franchises though, those are super young compared to everything else.
Splatoon yes, but Xenoblade is not much younger than Gears or Uncharted. And the GOW comparison is kinda off since it's basically a reboot of the series. It'd be like saying Xenoblade isn't a new IP because of Xenogears and Xenosaga.
The only IP criticism you can really have of Nintendo is that its developers get locked into stricter cycles than most. While Naughty Dog made 4 Uncharted titles, they also got to make Last of Us in the same generation. They aren't forced to carry over the IPs from the previous generation (ND hasn't had to touch Jak & Daxter and Crash for instance).
I hope that the success of Splatoon encourages them to explore new IPs.

Nintendo is only publishing Xenoblade.
Nintendo has the controlling ownership of Monolith Soft. Not the entire company, but more than 50%.

Agreed. But Chronicles and X are two completely different games, even if they are part of the same series.

Arms is the first test of that post-Splatoon strategy. If whatever Retro is working on is not a new IP, I would love to see it be another game in partnership with Nintendo using a Nintendo IP. F-Zero? Eternal Darkness?
