For an outsider of Nintendo, like myself, they do appear to do the exact same thing as COD. Only they space it out through multiple series. A year doesn't go by that a new Pokemon, Mario, or Zelda game is released. I know pokemon rarely changes and from my point of view, Mario and Zelda rarely change through installments.
So, yeah. They do seem rather similar, just one relies on nostalgia and the other on casual gamers.
