Not to discredit your point at all, but I don't see how any of what you said makes sense, particularly the predicted lineup for the next three years. For one thing, based on what Nintendo has said and the huge success of Switch, a successor is almost certainly not going to be out for quite some time. But even if it were, Nintendo has never had such few releases throughout a full year. Even during the years you mentioned for Wii, there were tons of DS/3DS games released, on top of Wii support. And generally because their handhelds are so successful, they support them for a very long time with new titles. The 3DS is the most recent and best example of this, with new major games being released even after the Switch came out like Ever Oasis, WarioWare Gold, Fire Emblem Echoes, Kirby, multiple remakes, probably more I'm forgetting at the moment. (And this was at the same time Switch was getting games like BotW, Splatoon 2, Mario Odyssey, ARMS, etc.) Why would they then only release a Zelda game and literally nothing else for an entire year? Nintendo are always developing new games. We probably won't see a TON of their heavy hitters, but to me it sounds like you're saying only games like Mario and Zelda matter. We are almost certainly getting more Fire Emblem, Kirby, Monolith Soft games, and smaller scale titles as well. They have no reason to just completely stop their output and have said as much as well.
