It's not like we are getting another drought on our hands. RE:Revelations, Fast & Furious, Sniper Elite V2, Deus Ex all come out in May, the VC launches this week so that covers the rest of April really, June has E3 so we'll be too excited about other stuff to care and Game & Wario releases.
For all we know W101 will launch mid-late May/Early June and they consider it to not be first party since technically, it is second party. It is still scheduled for a Q2 launch and I feel like Iwata would have mentioned it if it slipped. We also don't know the full release schedule for the VC and could be getting games once a week, that sizzle reel showed off more games than will be available this week after all.
They have also said from earlier on that their release schedule was packed more towards the second half of the year to give 3rd parties the breathing room they want. 3rd parties simply cannot compete with Nintendo's first parties (Sony and MS's cant really either to be honest), so packing the months with coveted titles would just piss off 3rd parties.
Sure I'm an optimist, but I could honestly play Monster Hunter until August and be absolutely fine. What bugs me more is the negative press.....there has been far more positive news than people think (before the earnings release). Just depends on where you get the news....
