Not revealing a game when you don't have anything scheduled at a later date is a bad. Why the fuck would people buy a system when they don't know what games are releasing in the future, revealing a game at a good time before release increases overall awareness for a product since and prepares potential purchasers to have the money to get the game. You're an idiot if you don't understand the simple concept of having more time to unveil and market a game increases the sales and brand awareness of a product since it gets people talking about the game more and more for a longer time. As a Nintendo fan I'm frustrated not to know this information because I want to see the actual game to get myself hyped again about Nintendo and get me excited again not doing this is idiotic. Stop being so content.

Maybe they buy it because of the software it already has?
It's been over 3 years on the market, awareness for the product in the usual gaming market is already there and Nintendos current goal is to broaden the appeal of the system and its IPs (see Ring Fit, Brain Training, Animal Crossing, LEGO Mario)

As I once stated Nintendo does not owe you anything. If you bought the system its because of the games that have already released and there is a big enough library to not run out of games anytime soon.

If you buy something because some thing might happen in the future then maybe you should rethink your buying habits. Or put your money into the casino or stock market.

Nintendo does owe everyone something because we're the ones that keep them alive, if they don't give us anything we desire they die, simple.

Yes evergreen games help sell a system even well after release I'm not arguing that. However, you can't live off of evergreen titles to sell your system on its own because in most cases, people interested in that game already purchased the system around launch. There's a reason why no one is going out buying a Wii for Mario Galaxy in 2020. Nintendo can't let the excitement of there brand slip again, they need to come out with new unveilings and game releases for the future to keep consumer engagement again, I'm sure potentially millions of potential purchasers are currently holding off buying a Switch because they currently don't see much of a future for it.
