And you don't help your case when you list Labo 1 and 2 as two of four new games. Those things basically turn the Switch into a childrens toy. Not saying they won't be popular, but they don't count as new games coming out. So Nintendo as so far two new games for first half of 2018, and neither one of them big games.
If they get great 3rd party support with some AAA 3rd party games and release a few smaller nintendo games like kirby and mario tennis and a few others and throw in a few good ports like DK, Smash, NSMB, and hopefully Mario Maker, it won't be that bad for those of us who didn't have a Wii U. Though I would rather not pay $60 for a ported game from the Wii U. While last year I bought 4 indie games and 4 Nintendo games, looks like this year could be indie games plus third party games (assuming some major good third party games actually come out).

She talked from a business context, so Labo counts whether you like it or not. Or perhaps you don't know that each set comes with a game.

This is something I have seen quite a lot of on the internet. I am seeing quite a lot of commentators (particularly from the core gaming side of things; who are quite vocal about this despite not being the target audience) pushing the narrative that LABO is just a piece of card board, leaving out the game software that actually brings the entire concept alive. Mind you I am not sure whether or not the product will succeed on the mass market and bring the demographic that Nintendo intends (there is positive buzz though, which is a good initial sign), but I think those that are pushing this as something that is not a video game have quite a narrow and partially elitist view of what a video game is.
