Well, if you can prove that good games were the norm for launch games then you have a point.

Some example of launch titles games that I played...

• Super Mario World
• F-Zero
• Pilotwings
• Luigi's Mansion
• Tekken Tag Tournament
• Unreal Tournament
• Street Fighter EX3
• Super Monkey Ball
• Halo: Combat Evolved
• Project Gotham Racing
• Perfect Dark Zero
• Project Gotham Racing 3
• Resistance: Fall of Man
• Wii Sports
• Soulcalibur
• AeroWings
• Sonic Adventure
• Pilotwings 64
• Battle Arena Toshinden
• Jumping Flash!
• Rayman
• Virtua Fighter
• Panzer Dragoon
• Daytona USA
• Altered Beast

You can disagree but most of these games are better than the actual launch titles with few exceptions.

Edit - I think I forget some good launch titles in the list.

Many listed titles were good, but not THAT great... Luigi's Mansion, Perfect Dark Zero, Jumping Flash...

Some titles were ports of arcade machines, for example Daytona USA and Virtua Fighter. The content was already there, they had "only" to fit it to the new home consoles. And with frame rates around 20 fps, a racing game like Daytona USA would be considered broken nowadays.
