All the while, the hype train for Destiny was building more and more steam. Regardless, in those first eight months of 2014, the biggest new IP was probably Watch Dogs, and there's not really much of anything else of note released. The first half to three quarters of given year always seems a little more barren to the final push before Christmas.
I would imagine that's partially a factor of developers getting used to the new hardware but also because, like every year, many AAA titles hold off until the holiday season to push their work out. In many ways Destiny was the game that kicked off the current gen of gaming consoles in earnest. The PS4 and Xbox One were released around November of 2013, but other than the launch titles like Assassins Creed: Black Flag and the annual roster updates on the sports titles, there really wasn't a whole lot of games on offer for the better part of that first year.
