Switch has around 30 retail games confirmed for year 1. Most console have that same amount on launch day.

Hey look, a liar.

Well looks like I overestimated the number of PS4 launch games (still more than Switch) and I guess its really influenced by the number of games which have garnered attention, but I would compell you to focus on the actual point.

By any metric Switch falls short in terms releases this year than competing systems at launch, you can compare Switch vs PS4/Xbox One retail at launch and Switch looses by a strong margin, you can compare the same with digital release and it looses by an even greater margin. There's a discernable weakness in its software line which even Nintendo has acknoweldged, that is where the "Dearth" of games comments come from. 

The 100 games in development line could be spread over 3 years and is not much of a counter argument. Comparatively PS4 had 80+games released at retail by december 2014, well over 100 including PSN.
