@Lulu_Lulu: this is the same company that is on smash bros 4, mario kart 8, probably mario 25 and Zelda 20 you're talking about?
I'm not sure what your point is in bringing up those numbers.
That's 4 Super Smash Bros games in 15 years and 8 Mario Kart games in 22 years (none of the sequels being on the same platform) - which is absolutely nothing compared to, say, 3 Uncharted games on a single platform in 5 years.
Also, your Mario and Zelda numbers seem totally off - possibly because you're mashing together all of the different sub-series of Mario and Zelda games.
For Zelda console titles (which tend to play completely differently to the handheld Zelda games), there have only been 9 over the last 27 years, and each of them tend to feature radically distinct gameplay. For the Mario games - there have been...what, 13 main console titles in 29 years? Plus 4 Paper Mario games (which play differently from the main series and each other), some Mario & Luigi games (again, different gameplay styles), and so on.
So...yeah, that argument doesn't work.
Anyway, looking at Nintendo's 2015 offerings - I can't speak for all of them, but Splatoon, Zelda U and Mario Maker are all types of games that Nintendo has never made before. Splatoon in particular seems very innovative and fun to play. Plus all of those games will most likely be fantastic, since Nintendo rarely releases terrible products in their main franchises.
That's more than can be said for that list of Sony games. On top of what has already been said, Gamespot doesn't seem to have much confidence in The Order being particularly good.
