BOTW is not only one of the best games in history it was then followed by a constant stream of games including MK8, Splatoon 2, Disgaea V, Arms, MK Rabbids, Sonic Mania, Minecraft, Fire Emblem Warriors, SMO, XBC2, Doom, Skyrim etc... the were around 200 games released for it in year one that's why NS took off and maintained momentum, four of the first party games released in the first year are 10m sellers with three now being 20m sellers and one heading to 40m that highlights how much fire power was unleashed in that years line up especially as three of these games were out in the first four months.

The only thing I'm arguing against is the apparent inability of Nintendo to launch and support a system at the end of 2023 because of games launching in 2022, so the 3rd party games aren't really relevant to what I'm discussing as the question is just this.

"Can Nintendo not release 1st party titles to support a system at the end of 2023 and throughout 2024?"

But like I've said I believe it IS possible for Nintendo to launch a system at the end of 2023 and follow it with a constant stream of games throughout 2024. I don't think their 2022 line-up means they can't begin a stream of content at the end of 2023. Just because they have a strong line-up in 2022 doesn't mean they will have nothing for 2023 and 1st half 2024, otherwise we're looking at a very sad state of affairs after December 2022 passes.

I'm NOT arguing that Nintendo will launch a new console in 2023, I'm arguing that the idea Nintendo would be unable to get software ready for a launch at that time is wrong.

I think they could have a good launch lineup if they launched holiday 2023, just not really the right one, apart maybe from MK9.
