About the same as they had in 2010 (2 years out) for Wii U launch. They've been in this situation many times over the decades, not like they suddenly don't know what they are doing.

You haven't thought about this much. Switch's 2022 has a much stronger first party lineup than the Wii had in 2011. It doesn't look like Nintendo is preparing for a 2023 launch of Switch's successor.

Telling someone they haven't thought this through is no way to have a polite discussion, first of all. Secondly, Wii didn't have a pandemic the previous year or more that caused massive delays on everything. Switch 2022 lineup is so good because many of it's games were originally planned for 2021, just as many 2021 games were meant to come out 2020 before Covid. If they have games to release, it's not like they just aren't going to release them. I think by mid 2022 the Covid delays should be mostly wrapped up and we will see a significant drop in major first party games coming from then on as most studios will be fully into making Switch 2 games.
