I already said several times Wii U had weak launch and 1st year lineup, so I agree that big bang doesnt means much without strong whole 1st year. You assuming that Zelda and 3D Mario are all cards they have and they will not have nothing after that, I assuming they will have good games to release after launch regardless Zelda and 3D Mario, I expecting great launch and 1st year lineup. 

Xbox 360 arrived at end of one and at beginning of another generation, same like Wii U, not in middle of generation. NX will come in middle generation, exactly 3 years after PS4/X1 launch, in time of those consoles life when they are basically strongest.

360 arrived 4 years into its predecessors life in the middle of a gen and was announced 3 years into the gen, the PS2 was still in full swing and strongest.

I'm not assuming anything that's what you're doing here, I'm telling you it's better that they use their cards more strategically, Zelda and LM at launch, Pikmin 4 following the launch window,  another title for Spring and summer then 3D Mario for Q4 for example. This way momentum is maintained and far better than your big bang approach, only way I can see them having a load of games post launch with a big holiday title at the end of the launch year if they launch with Zelda and Mario is if the is a shared library than yes they can launch with those two although I doubt they will even then as the portable side has bigger movers than Mario in games like Pokemon so on.

PS2 was launched at 2000, Xbox 360 was launched in 2005, Wii and PS3 were launched just one year later in 2006. So I really don't see how you can claim Xbox 360 arrived in middle of generation when arrived just one year before other consoles of that gen, PS3/Wii!?

I dont agree, IMO much better is to have Zelda and Mario 3D at launch, Pikmin following launch window, LM around march....and at end for Q4 we could have Mario Kart or some other big title. So we would have big bang approach and momentum. I also count on shared library of unified platform.
