I didn't gloss over your answer, i just didn't agree with it.

Those extra games (starting with Stars), are you sure they all exist and that they are all coming out in 2018?

"Nintendo have already made it clear the Switch is gonna get far more consistent support than Wii U and 3DS"
They also promised a lot of support for 3DS and Wii U. Did they deliver? No.
This year is this year and next year is next year. Not to mention that, in terms of original, in-house development, they have 1-2-Switch, Arms, Splatoon 2 and Mario.
I excluded Zelda as that is a Wii U game.
So far, for, 10 months, they have 4 games.

Wii U's problems weren't just lack of games and that 2013 ND revealed that.
It also showed how, despite promising support, they barely had any (in-house or 3rd parties, btw). That's exactly why they said launch window would be so long.

Focusing on 2017 games does not mean they can't show enough 2018 games.
I'm not asking for those 2018 games to be on the show floor or on treehouse. Just show me that 2018 will be a better year in terms of 1st party titles.

After 3DS and Wii U, after a January presentation that barely touched on what's coming in 2018, after saying that at E3 you're focusing on 2017, i have every right to fear that 2018 might not be as good as promised (not a first!).

 

 

You didn't acknowledge it at all, hence glossing over. Why ask questions you don't want to hear the answers to? Also, what you're not agreeing with is something that's already worked. Once again, same time last year, we only knew of one Switch game for 2017, yet Switch's 2017 line-up still turned out to be solid and it's not even complete yet.

The point to that example is that they can easily have a great E3 while announcing just a few 2018 games. 

They've made it clear based not on what they've said or promised but what they're actually doing, or do you deny the reality that is the Switch's consistent release schedule so far?

...Oh, you actually are, pretending Xenoblade, Fire Emblem, and especially Zelda n Mario Kart aren't significant games. Well if you're gonna be nonsensical about that even after Zelda and Mario Kart proved they do infact matter a ton despite being ports, then it's no surprise we're still having this argument.

Above all else though, I want to know what is enough games to you. You've been pretty vague this whole time on exactly how many games is satisfactory. You bring up E3 2014 as an example of a great E3 but even then there were only like 4 or 5 newly announced games, and while about half the games covered released in 2015 and beyond, 2014 itself was pretty barren even for 3DS (as were the following years but I digress).
