Like I said, the year is 2017, not 2018, makes more sense to spend more of your limited time on the immediate future since there'll be more time later for the later stuff. We only knew of one Switch game after E3 2016, that didn't spell doom and gloom for Switch this year.

Right and they can deliver without revealing their whole 2018 line-up. On top of a great showing for the games we already know about (Splatoon 2, Mario Odyssey, ARMS, Xenoblade 2, Fire Emblem Warriors, Octopath Traveler, Sonic Forces, etc.), Pokemon Stars, Pikmin 4, Retro's Game, Animal Crossing, Luigi's Mansion, SSB4 Switch, etc., even just a few of those would easily make this E3 way better than 2015 if it's not already.

Right, it didn't spell doom and gloom... because the concept was a novelty and they had Zelda.
Still, this is Nintendo we are speaking off and after Wii U it's no surprise that a lot of people don't trust them to support their own console.

This should have been the E3 where they would say "have no fear, we got you covered". But their message is the exact opposite.

Also, I'm not saying they should reveal their whole 2018 line-up.

 

Uh no, it's because they revealed more games later. And please do not gloss over my answer as it's the biggest point to why your fears are unfounded.

A lot of people? Ha, you're definitely in the minority here. Nintendo have already made it clear the Switch is gonna get far more consistent support than Wii U and 3DS, just compare their first year line-ups to the Switch's.

A consistent stream of games = we don't got you covered? The Wii U always had projects we knew about that were years off from releasing (Zelda, Xenoblade, Yoshi, etc.), but that didn't instill confidence when the immediate future always had little to nothing, so said immediate future is again the correct choice to focus on.

Then what are you saying, they can't really focus on 2018 without showing most of their 2018 games. Just two or three games for now that are releasing early 2018 will be enough to satisfy and show that the consistent stream will continue into next year. But if this E3 doesn't stop your worrying about 2018's line-up, then 2018 itself will.
