I dont think that's a very good way to measure, to me it makes more sense to compare the titles in an individual year rather than just looking at the top 40 spanning 35 years. Also I think it makes more sense to look at recent trends because things can change from one generation to the next. So let's take a look at Switch.

The generalization "Nintendo is known to launch their biggest games in the second half of the year" sounds like it is a long established practice of Nintendo.

Switch alone is too young to even see a trend of first/second half releases, so we need to go back at least a few additional years.

I agree more years are needed and if you look back at the 2011-2016 period I believe you will see more big titles in the 2nd half.
