Give me one example, what exatly Sony or MS game was announced and in relased in less than year in recent times. All currently announced games like new GoW, Days Gone, Gran Turismo Sport, TLoU2...even exclusives like Spiderman or FF7R, are announced at last E3 (FF7R was announced 2 years ago) and they still don't have no one release date.

 

I'm not going to bother anwsering about the rest.

You made a statement: sony's strategy was to reveal 2-3 years ahead.
I gave you 2 examples (E3 2013, E3 2016) where the focus was on games coming the curent year or the following year.

Either you don't believe me or you don't want to believe.
As Reggie said: "Not my problem!" ;)

No, you didnt gave me example, you just wrote E3 2013 and E3 2016, again gave me exmaple of game that Sony or MS announced and in relased in less than year in recent times.

You believe whatever you want to believe, while you keep denying facts.

Yup, same like Wii, DS and 3DS were also doomed without strong 3rd party support.

Such a shit comparison. First of all, those systems succeeded for reasons that the Switch currently doesn't acquire. 

3DS and DS were affordable, had Pokemon...does the Switch have that? It's about double the price of both. Kids primarily had those systems which parents bought them on a special occasion. The Switch doesn't capture that spark at all, at least not yet. Right now this system is more appealing to adults. I wouldn't want that to change either, no? Would you want the Switch to have a similar library to the DS/3DS? It could certainly get more than that. Irrelevant comparison in general-- the DS especially existed in a market where mobile gaming was in its infancy. The DS was the most affordable system that could provide a gaming experience that was also portable. The Switch now? The 3DS just rode off the success of the original DS. Even then, still sold more than half less than what the original DS did lifetime, and any other successors will probably sell less too.

Wii is an even worse comparison. Let me remind you that the Wii was a fad, exponentially intriguing casuals up until about 2011. Subsequently, the phenomenon died out and the Wii left an infamous legacy. The system was encapsulated with shovelware: including carnival, minigame, dance, party, sports games dominating its library. Do you want to Switch to degrade into that? I want to play competent RPG, fighting, action and story-driven games. Now in terms of actual relevance...how did the Wii U perform? It was practically a Wii successor. Nobody who bought a Wii U cared about Wii Fit and Wii Sports on it...the fad even died with the owners. They actually bought it for good games, but there weren't enough of them.

To put it into perspective, the Switch DOES need third party support. It's not carrying the advantages of those systems you listed, and frankly, do you want it to carry the advantages of the Wii? Unless you actually thoroughly relish the Wii's library-- shudder. 

You're one of those, it seems. Can tell by the profile picture and name at that, too.

We talked about 3rd party, and comparison is good because those systems also didn't had strong 3rd party support, they succeed regardless they didn't had strong 3rd party support.

Of Course that Switch does not need strong 3rd party support, same like DS, 3DS and Wii didn't had, and Switch sales and popularity proves that.
