Nintendos 2018 Line up is pretty boring for me, so far

"Again pointless because you can always say that no matter how well Nintendo sells or how much Nintendo does, like you are right now despite them selling very well by any standard which proves they're doing enough and planned very well."
No, you can't always do better. That exaggeration isn't true.
In this context, there's a big gap between how Nintendo is doing and how they could do if 2018 had been better prepared. Not to mention that all this will influence 2019's sales.

Who said anything about sales?
I was talking about release shcedules and how a better for 2018 could/would have resulted in better sales.

PS4 has been doing great, hasn't it? Even up YoY, right? Did that stop PS4 from droping in sales during the second and most of third semester, like, every year? No.

Why is that contradictory? Just because a game isn't a system seller, doesn't mean it's as if it doesn't exist or so bad that people pretend it doesn't exist.
Not all game libraries have the same appeal or value.
The more [the game library] is made off system sellers, the better. Below that, the less appeal it will have until it reaches a point where, for the majority of gamers, it just doesn't justify buying a console (like Wii U).

Except it is true. The only way sales couldn't get any higher is if you sold to every human on the planet, but then not really, because double dipping is a thing, and the human population isn't stagnant. Console sales will never get to that extreme of course, so saying sales could be higher will forever be a realistic possibility, but still a pointless statement when the sales are exceptional. This should really be common sense, but I'll even give examples using your logic to show how silly it is. "PS2? Sales coulda been higher, so it's a lame system with poor planning. DS? Sales coulda been higher, so it had terrible execution. Switch's record breaking first year? Sales still coulda been higher, so they clearly did not have good execution and planning."

Feigning ignorance wont help you. You said you're speaking from a business standpoint, and business's obviously use sales as the measurement for how good or not they're doing, not personal bias.

lol using the PS4 to try and foreshadow the Switch's sales trajectory helps me more than it does you, especially since you admit that PS4 sales are good.

Unless you can explain how a system can be more appealing but not sell more systems, the very measurement of how appealing a system is, then it's contradictory.

"No, you can't always do better. That exaggeration isn't true."
The keyword here is exaggeration.
Now, you can read into it, and get the meaning of what i said, or, you can read it literally and not get it.

Did i ever say that sales weren't good or hinted that if Nintendo saw the sales figures they would realised what i have been writing?
What i have seen saying is based on observation of how they are doing and trying to see if it could be better (this observation includes what they decided prior to Switch's success (a fair observation)).

You believe that Switch couldn't do more if the line-up was better? Fine. You don't care if it could be better and it isn't - or at least shaping up to be? Fine.
I look at it and see that the line-up could have been better and i gave reasons to it.
I think that me caring for it [Switch] to do better is implied.

The PS4 comment was made in reply to Zorg who implied that we are seeing a strong momentum and we would continue to see it.
I merely used PS4 as an example of that might not happen and then followed up with a questioning regarding what games would help pick-up sales, starting September. Just Smash?

I don't really understand your last paragraph.
All i have been saying is that sales could be better, if there were better/more reasons to amke it more appealing, as you put it.
