You really have a hard time grasping the distinction between a single game, and a line-up of games. 

Or some people have a hard time making a distinction between a big line up and a good one, a good one makes you want to buy the console, a big one is just big, following the logic of this kind of forums Wiiu had a way better launch up, but that's just wrong, as hardcore Nintendo fan as I can be I thought WiiU had an awfull launch up, i recomended people not to buy it and i completely ignored it for more than a year (yes, me ignoring a Nintendo console, that some epic achievement), and so did everyone, but the thing is that is not gonna happen with Switch and BoTW has a lot to do with it, a single game can make an entire line up good as long as it achieves the purpose of a good launch up: make you want to buy the console.

What you describe is a system seller. A game that makes you want to buy the system. That game can come out anytime during a console's lifespan, depending on the gamer's needs and taste. That one game doesn't constitute a launch line-up, obviously enough. 

A launch line-up of games is simply that, a line-up of games ready for the launch of a platform. In this case, it is very limited in scope/choices. Meaning that, in the Switch's case, if you're not into that one high profile game, you're left with an anemic selection.
