				The games this era are forgettable. Mario Kart 8 is already forgotten, Smash barely made an impact and Mario 3D World who?

 The lies when MK8 is one of the most acclaimed games in the series, Smash is still revealing DLC that will drive sales (like Cloud 

) and Mario 3D World is loved by critics and fans. Then there's Splatoon, which just won two awards! Plus, XCX is being called "the best RPG in a decade" by critics (i.e. by me). It's not a quality issue here, but a quantity issue; so few games are released that even great ones aren't enough to really drive sales.
