I'd be shocked if half the people who buy Call of Duty ever touch anything but Multiplayer. That is Call of Duty in essence.

So you took Bayonetta 2 off because it's not entirely first party, but you left Bloodborne on when it's not entirely third party???
I don't think you even understand what following a rule means at this point.

Both games Nintendo/Sony owns the IP. They should be treated the same.

Even if you took out BO3, that's still double the amount of 3rd party support the Switch is getting this year.

PS4's second year...

MGSV
Witcher 3
Bloodborne
Fallout 4
Batman Arkham Knight
Mortal Kombat X
Black Ops III
Disgaea 5

Switch's second year...
Octopath Traveler
Travis Strikes Back
Valkyria Chronicles 4

Mega Man 11
Sonic Team Racing
Starlink Battle for Atlas
My Hero: One's Justice
Warriors Orochi 4
Yokai Watch 4

Do these titles not exist? They're all at least as notable than Disgaea 5 if not much more, not ports or delayed from other versions.

The problem is here is with the way some of the logic is being thrown around. There seems to be a bit of goal post moving. One minute the argument is about Switch/Nintendo not having any big games this year(other than Smash), then when called out on it with a list of Indies,first party,third party ports, the argument switches to ''well those don't count because I don't consider them big'' or ''Late ports don't count''. We can't have it multiple ways here. Its one of the other.

That's the thing about games being subjective. What's big to you or me isn't necessarily big to someone else and vice versa in the other direction, a game myself or someone else finds insignificant and small might not be that way for someone else. All down to personal opinion and no facts are involved, only emotions and feelings based off our own perspective of what we feel is right.

Is the OP wrong? not necessarily. Again thats just something opinion based, even though, I, myself, disagree. However it's his personal opinion based off his own likes and dislikes, so that does not inherently make him wrong or even right factually. I personally do not find Smash to be this years ''big AAA title'' whatsoever and that's because I'm not a huge fan of the franchise as a whole, I think its fun but overrated. Now other people will rip that up and be mad at it and thats fine because thats the beauty of subjective and opinions, we all have one and in our own minds, we are all correct.

TLDR version:

At the end of the day were bickering over something that's entirely fickle and meaningless. It's all subjective and nothing factual can be found as far as what's ''big'' and what games ''matter''. The only truth here is that Switch doesn't have a drought,Switch DOES have a ton of games this year, The only thing that separates us atm is whether they're ''big'' or ''meaningful'' or not and in the end, that's just down to our own needs,self wants only. This does not have a definitive answer. So hopefully we can continue simmering down and talk about the games we actually are looking forward to rather than griping about them, because when we do that, it leaves us less time to play our games!

PS. I lied. That wasn't a TLDR version.

I completely agree with what you're saying, there is nothing wrong with people having different preferences/opinions so Smash being the only "big" game for him this year is fine.

The problem is when people try to present their opinions as facts and their preferences as being superior to others which is basically what the OP is doing.

When the herd loses its way, the shepard must kill the bull that leads them astray.
