You know Ubisoft Montreal? They're the main developers behind Assassin's Creed, Watch Dogs, and Far Cry. It has a total of over 2700 employees.
You know Nintendo's EAD division? Its Kyoto teams are the developers behind Mario Kart, Animal Crossing, Nintendogs, Splatoon, Zelda on consoles and handhelds, New Super Mario on consoles and handhelds, Pikmin, and Star Fox. There are about 720 employees there, not even 30% as many as Ubisoft Montreal.
It's easier to make more big games more quickly when you ad another digit to the team's size.
