Do you think it's a bad business decision? One of the reasons WiiU suffered was because of long software droughts. By spreading out big releases, Nintendo is attempting to remedy that problem. Switch is sold out everywhere and hype for Breath of the Wild is through the roof. March is fine. Nintendo is trying to keep the enthusiasm for Switch going strong for March, April, May, June, July, and on and on until December. The best way to do that is to stagger games throughout the calendar year. Releasing all the big guns on March 3rd would be counter-productive. I think Nintendo is less interested in some bragging rights over "best launch line-up" and more interested in making Switch a perennial success. |
Their desired approach is spot on. I would say we have no further to look than the PS4 and the XB1 to see the result of that given how one spaces out releases over the year and the other focuses solely on holiday. However, it is Nintendo's history that worries me. I am hopeful that they can put out desirable high quality titles all through the year.
