Did you see the software sales for Nintendo titles? I'd argue they focus on their "bread and butter" quite well. They made 1.5 billion in profit because of Switch, and its software, hard core software. And while the first half of 2018 has been lackluster, it ain't over until after E3. You really shouldn't be concerned. Like I said, I would be concerned if this was Wii Nintendo, or Wii U Nintendo, but so far this has been an almost entirely different Nintendo. We're going to continue to get the first party software Nintendo has boasted about. 

The only diversion we've seen from 1st party hardcore titles is Labo, not much else. Sony focuses on VR as well, which is arguably a very niche market that isn't necessarily representative of the fan base of PS4.

That's why I think it would be great if Nintendo focused more on their core games. They do so well. Not much casual from Nintendo has done well since the Wii/DS era. Its just a bit frustrating that they cant at least do a few years of more core games and see how it goes. If it doesnt go well, then at least they will have many games gamers will still love 10, 20, 30 years from now. Instead of a bunch of games that's fun for a month or two.

I don't know. Guess I'm just a bit harder on Nintendo because I like them so much. There are months were I don't buy anything for my Sony or MS consoles as well...

I think we'll get a ton of quality games when it's all said and done, I understand how you feel about Nintendo and I gave them no mercy during the Wii U era, as it was inexcusable the type of support we ended up getting and how many droughts there were. I don't feel that way this time around and I'm optimistic about their future. This is a system where they can combine their handheld and home console software developers under one device and I think by the end of this year into 2019, we'll begin to see a steadier stream of titles similar to how Nintendo handheld the entire year of 2017. 

I agree, 2018 so far has been...light on engaging, new Nintendo software, but I think that's gonna change real soon here. I know you're passionate about gaming, but chill, I think Nintendo will be alright this time.
