I don't see why you would expect a drought of games. We just don't know what games are coming. We didn't know about Paper Mario until two months (or less?) before it came out. We just found out about Pikmin. It is clear they just haven't announced their holiday lineup yet. It's not like they aren't going to have a single first party game coming out for the holidays!

Also we just had a Xenoblade game a few months ago, I'm sure there will be at least one more port for the holidays but Xenoblade is probably the last game it would be.

I'd expect after Pikmin to get the rumored Mario Collection, a popular GC/Wii/WiiU port, and one or two new games perhaps only at the AA level if Mario Collection is their planned main seller. Still, the right new AA game and the right port could each sell millions in the holiday season alone.

Didn't say it would happen. Said it should happen if anymore Wii U ports happen. ALso,Xenoblade X is very different than Xenoblade.

I'm just saying if they only bring like 3 ports this year, it's not gonna be Pikmin plus two Xenoblades. Whether the two Xeno games are very different or not its the same series. That just wouldn't make any sense just 6 months after they just ported another Xenoblade and it hasn't even had a holiday season to sell. A Zelda game (WW, TP, or SS) or Prime Trilogy or some other GC/Wii era game remastered would make a hell of a lot more sense.

Same reason a Mario 3D World port is unlikely to hit this holiday if they are indeed doing a Mario Collection game this Fall, except Xenoblade would make even less sense because it's a much more niche and less known game. Or a better analogy would I guess be saying you want the Wii U Paper Mario port this holiday just after Paper Mario just came out. You gotta space out games of the same series.
