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

Pyro as Bill said:

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.

Sony makes new franchises with devs like Naughty Dog and Insomniac and Guerilla when they could milk the old ones.  That's what keeps it fresh to me.  Crash to Jak to Uncharted to TLoU, Spyro to Ratchet to Resistance, Killzone to Horizon, and then Gran Turismo is not milked anymore.

Let's not forget that they take risks with games like The Order: 1886, Until Dawn or the Quantic Dream games.
