Newsflash: games take time to develop. It's not like they sat down and went like: "We won't release anything this year for no reason at all." Most AAA games that their newly acquired studios develop started development not to long ago, got delayed like Starfield or just take forever like TES VI.

It's not that hard to understand.

 It's been 4 years on some of those. They showed trailer for some a few years ago and yet to release. Nintendo is a much smaller company and still gets the games out. MS has enough developers to outman the NYC Police department. They should have better output than this.

Read the above comment. There are many different factors to attribute. Its not like the newly acquired studios started making Xbox exclusives day 1 they got acquired. Most were finishing up games already in development or making transition from AA to AAA which takes time. Then of course the pandemic delayed everything.

The Switch is much less powerful which means devs don't need to be as graphically focused. Nintendo can likely get twice as many games made in the same span it takes Sony and MS. This isn't a knock on Nintendo. It works great for them not to put as much emphasis on powerful hardware.
