i would agree that Luigi's Mansion was a subpar launch title but not a subpar game. The game is way too short, but what game that is there is very good.
SSB:M was released a few weeks after launch, is that launch title? Miyamoto even sorta apologized for not having Mario Sinshine ready for launch, but I think it was just a marketing ploy. remember the N64 launch in Japan? People went ape shit for the N64 on its launch day and then brought them back a few weeks later because there was a lack of software for it and the japanese got sick of just Mario 64, PW64 and a chess game. So I think Nintendo put off a Mario game at launch to guarantee that it wouldn't happen again. "They will atleast wait until the new Zelda and Mario games are released"-kind of mentality.
