Although that list does highlight a big reason why most consoles launch in the holidays: even if Nintendo has a number of 3rd parties on board, the majority of potential 3rd party games will be coming in the Holidays. So when you launch outside that period, you take a hit in the launch lineup list. I mean, look at the PS4's launch lineup. If it hadn't been in the Holidays it would have been absolutely abysmal.

Yeah, had Switch launched in the holidays there could have at least been the next Call of Duty on it at launch or Assassin's Creed and other third party games that relese around that time. I think the Switch will still get those games, but instead of having them at launch people have to wait till November now.
