Your first party devs or I guess in house development team (i don't know the proper terms but you get my point) can only put out so many titles in a year, big 3rd party titles are essenial to help mitigate droughts and also draw in a more casual crowd after the hardcore fans get their consoles. At least that's how i understand it. Nintendo already played their Zelda and Big Mario card in just this year. Titles like Kirby and Yoshi are not gonna push a ton of consoles next year.

I agree though that Nintendo started the Switch very well. They gotta find ways to keep that momentum and so far this year, they are doing just that.

Microsoft has a much tougher rode ahead having to constantly one-up Sony and the PS4.

I think they have enough big franchises left to carry the console (Pokémon, Animal Crossing, Smash Bros, 2D Mario, etc.). With the Switch getting decent support from Japan and Indies and with Nintendo focusing on the Switch as their only console starting next year we'll see enough big games on it. Nintendo was never focused on one console before and their combined (HH + HC) game output is quite tremendous.
