Well to be fair you could ask that question almost of ANY console and get a pretty similar response. No one really buys a specific console just for 3rd party games....they look at the games exclusive to that system in conjunction with the 3rd party games imo. And since the days of the N64 when Nintendo put their foots in their mouths all Nintendo systems have been odd/almost non existent when it came to 3rd party support.
I think the success of the Wii had more to do with the motion controls being new and fresh. 3rd party games really didn't have anything to do with it. I think without that new fresh feel it brought the Wii would have been in the same current boat that the Wii U is in. Which bothers me because Nintendo has great games that are 1st party arguably the best in the business. And those are the games that sell Nintendo systems to Nintendo gamers but not to many others.....the issue here being though that in the home console market since the days of the N64 outside of the Wii they have really not been sucessful at all. The question then becomes why.....they have such amazing 1st party games so why are they not doing better? And I think that is why many here bring up the 3rd party games because it seems to be the thing that stands out the most.
I mean if in order for them to be successful requires them to come up with the next seemingly new idea or gimmick(as some feel the motion controls with the Wii were even though I personally enjoyed them) then something is wrong. Again I am at a wait and see stand point when it comes to the Switch because I have high hopes for it. But I want to see how it sells when the smoke clears. because it is currently in the same boat as the Wii with having something seemingly fresh. So will that impact the sales as it did the Wii? And how will that pan out with 3rd party games and 3rd party game sells? There are still a lot of questions for me right now and I can see the reasonings from both sides regarding 3rd party games on the Switch.

maybe the reality is the 1st party isnt as good to alot of people as people here seem to think. At least not enough that people are willing to spend more than 300 for a system just to play them. Its been pretty evident since N64 when that system damn near had to rely on just 3rd party.

At bolded huh? The N64 was the system that caused the disappearance/lack of 3rd party games on Nintendo systems due to the arrogance of nintendo with thier attitdue towards 3rd party games. So I can't say that the N64 had to rely mostly on just 3rd party games.
As for the rest of your post.....maybe that is true who knows . But NO ONE can deny the sheer quality and polish of their 1st party games. They put a lot of work into them. And it shows so for me their first party lineup is pretty great.
