At least by my estimation, the number of currently-known big title upcoming games that are confirmed for this year on any platform are rather slim. Seems that everything has gone back to being unleashed in a big reveal, unless this really is going to be so dry a year industry-wide.

Only if there's a Minecraft-like phenomenon.

I predict NX launches in 2017 - not 2016

This is grim. Even the 3DO had a steadier stream of releases for its first couple of years. Even comparing it to the Dreamcast is an insult to the Dreamcast. There was a barrage of quality Dreamcast games for the two years it was on the market.

I can only see three possible outcomes:

1. Massive price cut that sparks consumer and developer interest (since this didn't work with the GameCube, even at $99, I don't see it working here as the Wii U has far fewer games than the GC).

2. The system is discontinued and Nintendo regroups and releases a successor in 2015.

3. The system is discontinued and Nintendo goes multiplatform on home consoles.

Umm.. 3DO... Seriously?

#3 is an option of last resort. In between then, they're likely to absorb other companies.
