Nintendo boss: „Game development today is more prolonged, more complex, and more advanced.“
Only about 15 years ago, it was nothing strange that an entire trilogy could be released for a single console, such as Gears of War, Mass Effect, Uncharted, or the Tomb Raider reboot.
Today, development times for big games has completely spun out of control and many game series can cleanly skip a generation. For example, there was no new Grand Theft Auto or The Elder Scrolls (the main series) released for PlayStation 4 or Xbox One. And unfortunately, most indications are that it will get worse.
Since the Wii was released in 2006, Nintendo has focused on simpler hardware and has games that are not as bloated with alternative game modes and the like.
