Some of the games I like the most -- some roguelikes fit into this camp -- had very small teams working for a long period of time on a game, spending a long time iteratively refining the gameplay.

I'm not so sure that I prefer the "wide" model of many people for a short period of time versus a few people for a long period of time. Certainly there are things that the "narrow" model can and has done well that the "wide" model hasn't.
