Wii U basically averages two "big" games a year.

But if you look at sales numbers and mass market appeal it actually makes sense. Starfox, Xenoblade and Yoshi will all sell in the 1-2 million units range, while Splatoon and Mario Maker will sell more than that. They'll also get more of a marketing push. 

Nintendo is going to push Starfox (they already were at E3) if anything I only worry they will over estimate starfox and push it less. But otherwise Nintendo clearly consider starfox big. And Japan is raving about xenoblade.

It doesn't matter how big Nintendo considers Star Fox, the series isn't very popular and Zero will be lucky to break two million in sales. Also, not many people are raving about Xenoblade Chronicles X in Japan because it has barely sold a hundred thousand copies there. It's a real pity considering the quality of these games.

I can kind of see what you're getting at but I disagree, especially when you have to count Pikmin 3 as a major title to justify your logic.

I find it difficult to understand why Nintendo has been so sparse with their support for the Wii U. Why didn't they release Zelda or Animal Crossing earlier in the its lifespan? I also can't wrap my head around the absence of Metroid Prime.
