So you refuse to believe that they want to have much less time between announcement and launch, with so clear examples and so evidence, that is so obvious and clear!? Thats some strong denying.
Point is that Nintendo operating different, not just compared to Sony and MS, but compare to most of 3rd parties also. I gave you clear examples how much different Nintendo is operating and how much different approach they have. Hole my point still stands.
I never said that Switch will be success same like Wii, I mention Wii just like one of examples of Nintendo success without "heavyweights". Actually 3DS didn't had good start, thats why Nintendo gave 3DS big price cut very fast. Not true, that could be said even today, 3DS will end up around 75m in smartphone era without "heavyweights", and now Nintendo can't keep up with Switch demand again without "heavyweights" 3rd parties. Again, you need to realise that Nintendo games are what selling Nintendo hardware not 3rd party games like MS or Sony consoles. Wii and DS were losing market share!? :D Nintendo acting different from GC faile and it paid them of big time, only Wii U was failure and after DS, Wii and 3DS, currently all pointing that Switch will be also success. Again, Nintendo always in some degree done that (for instance SM3DW is announced and launched in same year, they done that with last few Pokemons), but Sony and MS never hadn't done that. They decided to go with that plan fully because now they will have steady flow of good and strong games without droughts, but for instance if Switch sold bad until now probably Nintendo would show on E3 more 2018. than they will know when they can't keep up with demand. Why are doing that!? Because they want to be more focused and to promote much more games that will people be able to buy in near future, not to talk about games that will not be in sale in 2-3 years, and with Switch we see that strategie works.

Yes, i refuse to use exceptions as rule, to determine if their talk is PR speech or not... specially when they are exceptions!
And i told you that using Wii and DS as examples for your point was the best example.
Again, Wii and DS were exceptions and not the rule.
Yes, Nintendo did lose marketshare without the heavyweights. If you exclude the Wii exception you'll easily see that.
And seeing that Nintendo went back to it's usual market, heavyweights are needed.
GBA sold 80 million in about 3-4 years.
3DS hasn't reached that number and when it does it will have needed twice the time. Twice.
I don't know why you keep insisting in this 2-3 years.
And exactly why showing games for 2018 stops them from focusing on 2017 games during E3 and the rest of the year? One thing doesn't exclude the other as you imply.
I checked Sony's last E3 presentation and guess what, they had 9 games that were coming out last year or this year and 5 for... let's say 2018 (not out of the question if one or more releases this year).
I also checked their first E3 presentation and this is the result (X = Indies):
13 - 11111X
14 - 1111111XXXXX
15 - 11X
16 - 1X

I don't see Sony announcing things as you say (2-3 years instead of close to release).
