Regarding "2nd" generation games: I think Sqrl, HappySquirrel, Bodhesatva, BenKenobi and Naznatips (plus others) have all been to some degree or another predicting the shift in the quality of software for awhile. It's a little early to call it a done deal but it will keep improving. Fortunately for Nintendo they seemed to have been planning on pretty much going it alone (like the GC-gen) and had enough software to sustain the console sales in the first year.

Actually, I hadn't even thought they might have been preparing to go it alone. I can see now why mario kart and brawl were pushed back (I can picture smg, mario kart and brawl as a triple threat over the holiday season if they were having trouble). Since they werent they were able to add some more to the games and push their releases to some of the slowest months in sales.
