So most of his points seemed to focus on a perceived lack of games but I just don't see it. The Switch will have a very steady stream of games in the coming months and a decent number of games have been revealed since last week. I think Nintendo consciously decided to push some releases back. March will see four games that don't launch on the first day, April will have Mario Kart, Shovel Knight and Lego City.

Contrary to what people think "complete editions" of games (with all DLC and no need for further patches) are a very good value. I'll definitely pick up Shovel Knight, Fast:RMX and Mario Kart 8 Deluxe and heck the Wii U only sold 14m units worldwide. There are hardly any people who can play Zelda or Mario Kart 8 on the Wii U so for 90% of potential customers out there this is a great lineup. And all those games will be portable. That's a huge plus in my eyes.

Nintendo did a bad job convincing core gamers that its lineup will be good but the Switch will get a huge number of first party games and already has very solid Japanese support. Also, it will be the platform to go to for all Japanese 3DS and Vita developers because they are not going to make their games for dead consoles or the relatively small but expensive to develop for PS4 install base in Japan.
