That's the problem. Without third party a drought is a certainty. First and second party are good for sometime but eventually on a monthly basis you will start to see the gaps. Granted, plenty of quality games will be created but at what cost? This is the greatest question of all.

 

Thanks to the unified library, I'd say the NX is guaranteed atleast decent Japanese third party support as I highly doubt they're just gonna stop making the Bravely Defaults, Monster Hunters, Yokai Watches, and so ons. They've also been collaborating with them on Wii U titles which has hopefully better'd their relations. Things still don't look good for Western third party support, but as long as they give them no excuses hardware-wise I'm sure atleast Ubisoft will bite. Even without them I think between a unified Nintendo and Japanese third partys they can manage 12 games per year at the very least.

Twelve games a year. Don't Sony and Microsoft get hundreds per year?

I think he meant system sellers per year.

No console only managed 12 games per year except maybe the Atari Jaguar...



I LOVE ICELAND!

Don't know don't care, that's completely irrelevant to whether or not NX will have software droughts.

I would think Nintendo scored like 2 console sellers at best per year (at times) in the three and a half years of the Wii U's short lifespan.

I really doubt there's anything Nintendo can do to convince me into buying the NX.

I might actually pick up a WiiU unless that SSB remaster rumour turns out to be true.

Don't give him a scapegoat/fall for his sidetrack bait.

I think of 12 games a year as 12 significant retail releases per year.  Non-remaster/re-release retail games that are either going to sell over 1m within a year or get a ton of attention from core gamers.
