I'm saying it's bad because when i look at games that can sell a system i only find Smash. And to me that's the most important aspect of a release Schedule for any console manufacturer.

My comment on Labo was made in regards to the actual games it provides. Which, to be honest, they feel like tech demos, to me.
My personal opinion on Labo is that i don't see it being successful in the long run. It will be fun at first but the constant need to build and be paid with a "tech demo" will eventually put people off. Not to mention that replacing broken parts probably won't be easy to do so (mostly due to logistics).

From your list, on your thread, the new games are Kirby and Mario Tennis Aces... with Labo, three, if you add it.
Everything else is a port.
But even if we overlooked the above, how is it good planning to frontload the console in a year and leave the smaller franchises/non system selling titles for the next year? Again, to me, that's not good planning, both in terms of quantity and quality.

Yes, i have been concerned about Switch and with good reason, if you ask me.
2018's calendar, so far, has proven my concerns to be true.

I'll stop being concerned when i see two things:
Nintendo stops being so reliant on ports to sell the system and when we start seeing a flow of new IPs.
Nintendo has had enough time (since 2015!) to show that concentrating the bulk of your SW development efforts on single device would result in a better, improved Nintendo.

Sorry, your pessimism has not proven anything so far. You keep your eyes and ears shut really tightly when it comes to good things related to the Switch. Instead, you keep repeating the same lines over and over again like a mantra (being front loaded, having no big games besides Smash, ports don't count, the smaller games don't count), no matter how many times people correct you. And you keep bringing your personal taste into this and state it as universal.

Here, have my opinion. 2018 alone brings me 7 games I will buy for the Switch, and we're only in march so far. I am very satisfied so far and my satisfaction will keep rising as more games will be announced.
