"when we look at the slate of titles -- many of which haven't been announced yet"

Many of which? Nintendo already has 3 of their own games slated for the second half (Fire Emblem, Yoshi, Smash) plus they probably count Octopath Traveler as the tentpole release in July. We can really only expect 1-2 more 1st party games announced/confirmed for this year. Thus he has to be refering mainly to 3rd party games then, and they aren't exactly the driving force behind Nintendo systems like they are elsewhere, but they're still very much helpful. It's already great that Nintendo is putting out games frequently n consistently, and now it's even better that the small gaps between 1st party releases will be filled with 3rd party.
