The problem in using the two platform argument is that it doesn't offset the fact that with each gen more needs to go into a game to the point that a game like BOTW would still require more than both PH and SS put together you could probably even add ST into that as well an example of this is how it required another first party studio in Monolith to help out in just creating the open world. Games like Brain Age and such may not require as much but in today's era they're not going to generate the momentum needed to sell a platform in the long run this is why Nintendo shifted focus to other more demanding projects instead and waited on these titles to later.
