Difference is that in each of aforementioned instances, Nintendo was putting out software to more than one platform: a console and a handheld. NX is only one as far as we know. |
Maybe tha could be the case. We will not know for sure until March.

The Wii actually did avoid droughts atleast until the tail-end of it's life, so they were truthful once, and they could very well be again as unlike any of their previous systems the NX should have a unified library |
You are partially right. The drought started at around 2008. 3rd parites started to fill the gap a little after that. However I am not sure if people would include that in the drought or not. If you do then the drought starts at 2010 instead which is the 2nd half of the Wii's life. Nintendo did good in 2007 but after that not so much.
In 2007 Nintendo released 12 titles.
In 2008 it was 4.
In 2009 it was 5
In 2010 it was 10
In 2011 it was 6
In 2012 it was 5 (two were ports kinda)

Honestly they only got like two good years in terms of numbers. Anyway I remeber the drought in 2008,2009,2011 and 2012. They had more bad years than good years. So the wii at times did avoid the drought but not for most of its life. 3rd parties did good from 2009 to 2010 from what I remeber but nothing ground breaking.
