The GC comparison served a purpose: even if you have a great start, that doesn't garantee that that success is garanteed. You have to keep that momentum. And so far we have nothing showing that Nintendo will be able to do that.

There was no agenda against the Wii.
The userbase simply wasn't the same you had on XB360 and PS3. And in the end, that's the most important thing: who am i sellng my games to?

Sony and MS do what Nintendon't! :)
Their games are the same type of games that 3rd party make. Even the marketing/strategy goes in that direction; Nintendo doesn't make that type of games, no their strategy goes exactly that way. Therefore, Nintendo doesn't attract PS4/XB1 fans.

On GameCube comparison, I think Nintendo has shown a lineup of 1st party Switch games that will keep releasing all year long, where GC had about a six month gap from the launch software to Eternal Darkeness and Super Mario Sunshine and started falling apart during that drought.  What does Switch have in 2018?  Good question, but one that doesn't need to be answered at E3.  I think it could happen anytime before end of November (depending on how things go with the games they've already announced).

I will agree that if Nintendo doesn't announce anything for 2018 until January and if they get to announcement time and reveal a six month gap in first party software, that would be a problem, but so far that's not the strategy at all, the releases have been spaced out.

I won't pull out my tin foil hat regarding Wii, not on topic, and you're right that not every game makes sense on Nintendo.

Yeah, you are right. There was a big drought in the first half of 2002.

I would disagree it's not something Nintendo needed to address at E3: it is the biggest stage of the year, after all. And no ND can live to the hype and excitement of that time.
I believe it would be the best time to reveal; they are still competing with Sony and MS, too.

That is my concern: not enough games for next year (second half is pretty much garanteed!).
I still haven't seen a clear sign showing that 2018 is going to be, at least, as good as 2017.
