Not that other launch title sets are much better but the massive sales of the AAA in house stuff and lackluster sales of third party stuff for Nintendo consoles tends to highlight it.
Lets examine some of the PS4 launch lineup:
Assassin's Creed Black Flag: Major AAA franchise
Need for Speed Rivals: Racing
Knack: 3D Platformer
Killzone Shadow Fall: FPS
Battlefield 4: FPS
CoD Ghosts: FPS
DCUO: MMORPG
Madden/FIFA: Sports
Maybe not every game was a runaway critical success, but you had a wide variety of different types of games to choose from. It wasn't just one major title and a bunch of garbage.

Exactly. Even if they had some older 3rd party titles just to have something to play, it might be forgivable. I Am Setsuna, just googled, and you can download it free for PC. I Am Goo is almost 10 years old. Their next big name release is in April, Mario Kart, and it's just a port.
There are people who are going to buy this regardless, but if I were on the fence, I'm leaning towards waiting a year so I can avoid the launch BS and Nintendo can quit pretending they can't make the Switch fast enough.
