You mentioned scale and did not mention IQ. The scale of Xenoblade Chronicles dwarfs anything that we've seen from Skyrim and GTA. And, as I've previously mentioned, Skyrim and GTA are full of bugs...Skyrim was so bad that it was virtually unplayable on the PS3 for months.
And that was my point. Nintendo games take longer to develop because their QA standards are much higher than the standards of third party publishers. They refuse to release bug-ridden games.
