Switch

March 2017-Breath of the Wild

April 2017-Mario Kart 8 Deluxe

June 2017-ARMS

July 2017-Splatoon 2

Oct 2017-Super Mario Odyssey

Dec 2017-Xenoblade Chronicles 2

 

Not only is the total number higher but the size and scope of the Switch games are significantly greater than the Wii U titles.

You forgot about New Super Luigi U.
And both Zelda BoTW and MK8 are Wii U games that were ported to Switch.

If we look at only original games, Switch has 5 and Wii U has 4.

The comparison doesn't really favour Nintendo much.
Although, something different should have happened.

I didnt forget it, its just DLC that got a standalone release.

But if you insist on adding NSLU than ill add DLC for Zelda, ARMS & Splatoon.

 

Why would we disregard Zelda? It was a brand new game, it doesnt matter that its multiplat, its still a brand new title.

 

Yes Mario Kart was a port but added new content and ports still take resources.

 

I like that you conveniently ignored the part about Switch games being much larger is size/scope.

 

Overall Switch 1st party output was significantly greater than Wii U or 3DS in the first 10 months.
