By that logic, Xbox is the epitome of that problem. Honestly, why does it concern you so much that only 2 first party games have a 2018 release date? We're only halfway through this year (2017) and you're already jumping to the conclusion that there's a "problem" with 2018? We've seen already that Nintendo will eventually deliver on first party IP, as all their studios are pretty much working together to make games for this system. Out of the blue, there could be an Animal Crossing game, a Smash port, Mario Maker 2/port, the list prolongs. Pikmin 4 and Fire Emblem 2018 are definitely going to be for 2018, as Pikmin 4 has been "almost finished" since 2015. It's likely going to be revealed in a Nintendo Direct. Just wait, please. This discussion is way too early. You're probably too exercised by Sony's 2018 delays to have such discussion. Nintendo doesn't operate like that, sometimes they announce a game a few months before release. Sony doesn't do that. |
Killzone, Knack, MLB 14, LittleBigPlanet 3, Bloodborne, MLB 15, Ratcher and Clank, MLB 16, MLB 17, Uncharted The Lost Legacy, Knack 2 all took a few months from announcement to release. That's not counting the remasters and such like TLOU Reamster, Nathan Drake Collection, Heavy rain, Beyond Two Souls, God of War III, etc.
MS also has titles that released a few months after being announced like Ryse, Forza 5, Forza horizon 2, Forza 6, Forza Horizon 3, Rare Replay, Forza 7, Super Lucky's Tale.
It tends to happen more for the lauch window titles cause they're announced when the console is shown off or the E3 right after the console is shown off. Don't expect the same trend to continue beyond that, there will still be some game that announce so close to the announcements but not with the same regularity as they do at the beginning.
