No one deserves any success this generation so far.
PS4 and XB1 are sh*t right now too and have their share of droughts and tons of freaking let downs. This will be the THIRD straight holiday season for the PS4 without a real big in-house original title. Uncharted Collection, a remake of PS3 games is likely going to be their big title for the holiday, which is pathetic.
Bloodborne is their only great release from Sony in the last 12 months and unlike Nintendo they haven't supported the Vita for sh*t either. Microsoft's big release of the last 12 months is Halo: Master Chief Collection (yet another last gen remake) and they can't even get that right, it's been horribly mismanaged.
Nintendo has release Splatoon, Mario Kart 8, Bayonetta 2, Smash Bros., Captain Toad, and some good handheld games to go with that in the last 12 months. Also ragging on Nintendo for not enough original IP while praising crap like Knack and citing things like Mortal Kombat TEN (lol) and Witcher III is rich.
Nintendo was just stupid to make another console that alienated third parties by being a generation behind tech wise again, thus putting all their hopes on the fickle casual crowd and a controller gimmick again, and it back fired. Simple enough.
The Vita is a nicely desigend handheld, but Sony can't compete against smartphones and Sony gave up the moment they got their nose bloodied. They don't have the disposition to fight for their handhelds. Just admit the real reason, memory cards being $15-$20 overpriced is a bogus reason considering you have no problem paying $50-$60 for PS4/XB1 controllers that really cost $1 to make.

Who buys 2 Xone or PS4 controllers and don't pretend the Pro controller is much cheaper. There are great 3rd party IP's, like shadow of mordor and the evil within which are good, feel fresh and are a nice change of pace from the usual games which are good to. I am talking about a console not just about his creator so it's only fair to compare the full libraries of each console/handheld. For each Nintendo game there is a good game to be found on the PS4.
Killzone could be considered big and sold over 2 million long before VGchartz numbers according to Sony. So that could be considered big. Infamous also did pretty big numbers,.although outside holiday season.
If you're so insecure that you directly read MK X but fail to read titles in 2015 referring to the 3rd major draught of the Wii U. That says more about Wii U's uninspiring line-up than the line-up of the Twins which offered way more the last 6 months.

I already said Nintendo made a mistake in hardware design by going the "lets make a last gen console and try to sell it on a controller gimmick". That's why they don't have third party support.
But lets not pretend that sh*t don't stink equally. All three consoles lack considerably in software right now, all three have had droughts and XB1/PS4 being held up as bations of originality when a third of the "big" releases are PS3/360 remasters is laughable.
Uncharted Collection is going to be Sony's 2015 holiday title, after Last of Us Remastered was their big 2014 release, and Halo: Master Chief Collection was MS' big 2014 release.
That is pathetic.
At least Nintendo is pulling their weight as a publisher, having made several great games in the last 12-24 months. MS and Sony? Not so much. Even the supposed "third party support" that we're supposed to be fawning over ... Watch Dogs ... dissapointing overhype. Destiny? Dissapointing overhype. Maybe Batman will finally break through and be worthy of a TRUE next gen experience because right now PS4/XB1 have been two years of playing high-res PS3/360 cross-gen games and remastered "remember how cool this was on the PS3 2-3 years ago, well we're re-releasing it! Be excited!".
