The idea that there's droughts isn't new. But it's also enthusiast rhetoric that's been passed down through every console generation.
And in this particular instance, it was created by Era themselves by repeating the whole "unified development" thing like a mantra, without taking into account how game development works.
Perpetuated as well by the idea that Nintendo needed to have a game release per month; everyone making their yearly lists, again disregarding how game development works.
No normal person is going to play 12 games a year. In fact,
the attach rate of the PS4 right now is around 9 games per console.
Nintendo cannot create 12 high-quality polished games every year. It's unrealistic.
Go play that one game you've been putting off, ya nerds!
