To include download-only games would be to concede that the Wii U did not suffer from a release drought, a ludicrous assertion. For the purposes of this thread, we are not including download-only titles.
It is unusual to have zero retail releases throughout January and February. This past year, the PS3 saw the releases of Ni No Kuni, DmC, and Metal Gear Rising in that time (off the top of my head). The 360 got the latter two of those as well. The 3DS got Fire Emblem: Awakening and Etrian Odyssey IV. If both the PS4 and XO have a complete absence of planned retail releases in those months, I think it's worth pointing out, regardless of their digital lineups.
