What it will need between now and Jan 1st is either at E3 or a Nintendo Direct to showcase its 2018 line-up of games...

...better to know that you and others are planning on supporting the system in the future.

ESPECIALLY after a failure like the Wii U. No one is blaming Nintendo for dropping support...

....But people remember the long drought of no games. They want to know that the new Switch will have games coming out past 2017.

Wise words. Nintendo does have something to prove to consumers past the first 8 million or so. We were always going to be easy. For the core, it was a question of how soon rather than if. There are a lot of peripheral Nintendo fans that aren't convinced that the Switch will be different than the Wii U yet.
