GameStop: Switch has one of the highest attach rates of software and accessories that we’ve seen in a long time.

Mario was milked to high heaven but it's Mario and that's kind of how the toy/game industry worked back then.

Forza's made 4 appearances (Horizon/Motorsport) on XB1 already after the 4 on X360. Imagine Nintendo doing that to Mario Kart. Nintendo rarely goes over 2 installments/system and isn't afraid to completely drop a successful IP for a generation or 3.

Just to be clear, im not saying any of them are milking their franchises, im just pointing out a double standard you are using.

If Sony has milked Uncharted from 2007-2016 by releasing 5 mainline titles (1-4 & Golden Abyss), a compilation title, a card game spinoff and an expansion than i suppose Nintendo milked Metroid from 2002-2010.

Metroid Prime, Metroid Fusion, Prime 2, Zero Mission, Prime Pinball, Hunters, Prime 3, Prime Trilogy, Other M

Also Sony is pretty notorious for giving their franchises long breaks.

So from 2007-16 Uncharted had 4 home console titles compared with 2 Mario Karts, 1 Zelda, 2 SMBros and 2 Smash.

Gran Turismo used to release every 2 years, I suspect it's only devtime that's holding back more regular releases. Crash Bandicoot used to be an annual release. Tekken was every other year. Killzone 2,3,4 are all separated by 2 years.

Mainline Metroids may have released every 2 years too but one took the game in a new/bad direction and it's hard to say Metroid is milked when it hasn't had a game for 7 years.

Whatever the milking metric is, Nintendo scores lower.
