N64, GC, and Wii all had droughts. And games were less complex and took less time and resources to make back on those systems.

Wii/PS3/360 could only all do well cos Wii was nothing like the others, they filled different niches.

Doesn't matter how big the market gets, there's never room in one niche for three consoles.

I don't remember scarcity in those days, but then again I played less games back then so you could be right.

And I guess games indeed took less time and were less complex to make.

As for the Wii being nothing like the others okay, so that goes well with my point which is to hope for Nintendo to make a dedicated home system, just do one that is "different" and not the same as the others if being too similar could jeopardize its success

Outside of RE4 GCN has a massive drought in 2005.  One of the wors Wii droughts was in 2008 esp early on. After Mario Kart, Smash and Okami the first 4 months it became slim pickens rest of the year.
