| VAMatt said: Reggie has stated that there are 80 games in development for Switch. So, that's your maximum library size at 3 years into the Switch's life. At 3 years, the Xbone and PS4 had much larger libraries than that. If you add to that the fact that many of those games are reboots and updates of older games, the library doesn't sound very impressive. Of course, if Ninty can deliver 3 big games, plus maybe 4-5 smaller, but still good titles per year, that may be enough to keep the system afloat. |
That's not how that works at all. 80 games being in development as of January 2017 does not mean it will only have 80 games by the end of 2019.
AAA titles may take 3+ years to make but things like ports, remasters, most indie games, most Japanese games, most kid/family games are developed in much less time than 3 years.
When the herd loses its way, the shepard must kill the bull that leads them astray.
