So long as Nintendo doesn't look at Activision, Ubisoft and EA and decide these franchises need a new game every single year and throttle the devs into only working on those games and no other projects.

The difference being that even when a Nintendo team only works on one project, it still takes 2-3 years typically to complete the game, because they value quality and don't create enormous/expensive development teams due to their money saving business style. You don't see 250-300 people development teams at Nintendo, except for occassionally Zelda (which still take about 5-6 years to come out, at least the major ones).

That's my point. I don't want Nintendo to look at what others are doing and ever think that this is the way to go. And I'm all for the expansion of studios and development teams, but I don't ever want them to become the "______ Factory," where that's all they are allowed to do. That's how you wear devs out and get good talent to leave.
