I don't agree... at least not completely. This is traditionally the time in a Nintendo consoles life cycle where it's quiet... too quiet. They've already released all of the big titles and what they have yet to be released looks like it'll be coming by late 2008, early 2009.
Recently they've said that Disaster: Day of Crisis will be released in June or July in Japan... *thinks* can't remember which of those two months it is, but whatever. They obviously have a lot of titles being developed at the moment since they've shifted all of their effort into Wii development and their many studios are hard at work as we speak.
But, like I said, it takes time for games to be released and you won't be seeing many stand out titles in the coming months coming from Nintendo... so what does this mean? It's a good time for third party developers to get their games released in this time period and enjoy not having to compete with Nintendo on their top titles.... they'll still have to compete with existing titles but what can ya do.
Last year belonged to the 360 since it's been established for a lot longer than the Wii and PS3, but this year looks like it's going to the 360 and/or PS3... dunno which, since they all have some pretty big titles which are out and will be coming out in 2008.
This doesn't take anything away from Nintendo though since Wii Fit is about to launch in the US and Australia which will capture a market that no one else can reach at the moment. Also, Nintendo is about to launch WiiWare in the US, Europe and Australia and there are some very interesting games coming out for that... I'll give you an example: Animales de la Muerte. There are other games coming to WiiWare which are pretty damn interesting too, here's a list of WiiWare games: http://www.vc-reviews.com/wiiware
Right now GTA4 is leading the charge for the 360 and PS3, but MGS4 is also on the way as well as a few other games I'm forgetting the names of right now...
