Here's my original post : "Let's not get that far plz. I wanna see the existing stuff we're gonna get for the next year and half first before crying for new stuff like any spoiled child would." This guy shouldn't get so overreactive over my point of view. I think it's just important to think in the shorter terms when it comes to games announced into a window cuz otherwise you're left with promises that in some cases are left unfullfiled and leave a bad impression on future presentations, case in point Microsoft/Sony's E3 2014/2015 conferences. Also I'm not the guy who searchs for promises to fullfill my reasonning behind the early purchase of a console. And ... he's making it seems like it's necessary for a console maker to promise games far into the future to make a console sells gangbuster, which ain't true when you got the Switch selling crazy on "promises" from a window of 1 year only. Ultimately, it's fine if he thinks this is necessary to ensure the sells of a console. I just don't think alike him. | How am I overreactive? You threw out words like crying and spoiled child which would only provoke a response. I stated a fact about how Sony started strong this gen, basically on a promise of great games. I am talking from a business perspective not my own personal taste in Nintendo games. We already know whats coming in the short term from Nintendo. That is also to be expected and not really a big surprise as games liek Smash, Mario Tennis etc come every generation. To sell hardware to non Nintendo fans they need to show a strong future. If I am a regular joe citizen looking at what's coming, Nintendo's console is not very attractive as an impulse buy. The Switch may have started strong because of the Nintendo fans, but so did the Wii. A bright future keeps momentum in sales. At one stage Wii was pacing to get to 150 million, there was no bright future after a few years so momentum died.

If the Switch is set to sell 100 million as apparently that's how many Nintendo fans there are based on your silly Wii comment (Wii brought in a lot of non-gamers/casuals through motion controls and the Wii series), why do they even need to sell to non Nintendo fans? Course the Wii stopped seling not because games weren't announced years in advance, but because there were no more games as Nintendo had to prepare for 3DS n Wii U. Believing the Switch or any Nintendo system only sells to Nintendo fans because the known future extends to a year rather than 2+ is beyond silly. I could just as easily say the PS4 is only selling to Sony fans who're willing to wait years for games, but again even if that were true who cares when the console sells like hotcakes.

After Microsofts' conference Nintendo need to shock and surprise us with at least 3 or 4 announcements. So many things i want to see. Would be great if even only a few of them were revealed.

Ha, as if Nintendo would change their plans based on someone else's conference! They don't care about "winning E3," they're just here to show us great games that will continue to release consistently. In that regard Nintendo will be better, as while Microsoft's conference was good, there wasn't a whole going on for 2018.
