Its more of a release of games + potential price cut that would put it up. Lime i said in my reply to Seece, Tbis year had 2 biggest ips, but it only had 1 semi big game (and 3 other small ones). Next year has 1 huge ip but with about 7-9 games maybe more next year.

We'll see what a pricedrop can do but I'm not convinced that a bunch of medium games will push more consoles than 2 really big ones.

Its not about pushing systems like mk8, its more keeping the baseline up YoY. Look at vita for instance, a round of games per month kept it over25k weekly in japan but after that with small games and little to no releases it dropped to 15k weekly.

This year still had a drought. For comparison, DK was Feb and MK8 was May (the last day btw).

2015 has Kirby/Splatoon/Yoshi and XCX for japan and Captain Toad for Europe with a possible Mario Maker for Q2 and those unknown Project games (thoughi thinkthose will do terrible).
