You are reading into my words more that i have expressed.

They dropped Wii U support around 2015, 3DS support not long after that (as pointed out by another user).
They reveal Switch showing off only 5 original in-house games and no, i repeat, no 2018 title.

How can't i question their ability to correct this specific past failure?
I'm not talking about the rest they corrected or the quality of games (you are right in what you said when comparing both line-ups).
When i don't see clear signs of that mistake being corrected i January, i'm a little skeptical. I thought "too soon? E3 will be the place". But what i get is that their focus for the Spotlight is still 2017 when didn't have to. They could have very well not said that - and let us thinking - or even said "focus on games coming 2017 and 2018".
The focus on 2017 games didn't need to be ALSO on the video, but for some reason it is.

Of course i believe they will show 2018 games, but i think that, at this point, this shouldn't be the case (it really didn't need to be) - where they even in the video focus on 2017 games.

And when i look at what they are not showing and not really willing to show/focus, i question them.
Is that so wrong?

"Wii U days are long time over, and people are were aware of that"
Ok. Show me the games they have announced and actually shown that are coming 2018. Show me some quote where they said that they will use E3 or any other show/presentation to "prove" that they are doing things differently.
Just don't show me PR speech saying that they will fully support Switch. Give me something concrete.

While Wii U support wasn't the greatest in 2016, Pokken, Star Fox Zero, Paper Mario Colour Splash, Twilight Princess HD, Tokyo Mirage Sessions #FE etc. say that they hardly dropped Wii U support in 2016 especially when one of the most highly rated games Zelda Breath of the Wild was released for the Wii U in 2017, so saying that is clearly false. Same with the 3DS, 2016 was one of the best years for 3DS software, better than 2015, and while support is declining it's far from ended.

Second Botw, Splatoon 2, ARMS, Xenoblade Chronicles 2 and Mario Odyssey with more to be announced are more in house development games you'll see from any company within a year so I don't know what you're getting at with'only'. They fully revealed the Switch at the start of 2017 in the presentation in the year it was being released of course they weren't going to showing many games coming in 2018, 19 or 20. The entire point and focus was on the Switch's launch year.

The "Wii U days are long time over, and people are were aware of that" point is truth, because they haven't been announcingand showing  titles 3 years off, because with the Wii U they didn't have enough titles releasing in the comming months or the current year to talk about and that was one of the many problems with the Wii U. Leaving people waiting and waiting for something off in the distance rather than focused on what's just around the corner and coming soon this year.
