September to early December is when everything comes out, especially late October and early November. Publishers work hard to get their games on shelves for the Christmas gift shopping season, and there are nearly always far too many to even play, let alone buy.
Sure there is a lot of games on the whole, but for each individual system there isn't a ton of software being released during these months.
However, a couple of these titles will be huge so they should do well to serve as a gap filler until more games arrive down the road.
March is like the biggest lineup of games I've wanted in years...
Blazblue, Dark Souls 2, Deception IV, Final Fantasy X HD, InFamous Second Son, MGS V GZ, South Park, and Witch and the Hundred Knights...
Dang... I need more money... *sits in the corner with my empty wallet*
March is definitely stacked.
Tropical Freeze and Dark Souls 2 for me!
I don't consider this a gaming drought for XB1 owners, reason being, the average person doesn't play more than 3 games at a time.
The xb1 launched with 4 exclusives, all mutltiplates and 5 downloadable titles. In March they get the MS exclusive Titanfall, all of the mutltiplates a new character and story mode for Killer instinct.
I am personally looking forward to Infamous second son though, but I feel like after I beat that, in a few days, there will be another drought until later in the year.
Edit: I guess if you only like shooters or a certain genre then yes this is a drought for you. However someone like me who finds enjoyement in all types of games, this is far from a gaming drought on the xb1 side.
