Like I said, its not just about getting these franchises out early, its also about them getting another game out in a timely manner.
If Sakurai works on another game instead of Smash 5, it will be 4-5 years before Switch gets a Smash Bros.
If EAD Group 2 goes to work on Splatoon 2 right away than it will be years before Switch gets an Animal Crossing or vice versa.
If Breath of the Wild remained a Wii U exclusive than Switch wouldnt get a Zelda until 2021 or later.
If Pokemon Stars releases as a 3DS exclusive in 2017 than Switch wont have a mainline Pokemon title until 2019.
If Switch doesnt get a bunch of the Nintendo big hitters out in a timely manner than its possible that Switch will face the same fate as Wii U and once these big franchises do finally release it will be too little, too late.
Having 3D Mario+Smash Bros+Mario Kart+Zelda+Splatoon+Pokemon in the first year will ensure that Switch starts out strong and doesnt become another Wii U.
When the herd loses its way, the shepard must kill the bull that leads them astray.
