Nintendo's strategy isn't to release a game people want to play. It's to release a big game (quality is irrelevant) every 2 months.

That sounds like a good strategy too. Much more effective than Microsoft's strategy of releasing a big game maybe every 4 months or so. More like Sony, who has released 2 big games so far this year.

Big difference - Sony's system gets a lot of games. For example, 9 out of the top 10 selling games from Jan-April 2017 are on the PS4. And while Sony only released 3 big games (production value wise) this year (following TLG in December), that's still more than Nintendo, who effectively only released 2 games developed for the WiiU so far this year.
