Since i've had my Switch, I've been having a blast. I havent even really been looking at my other platforms as Sonys major titles will be releasing next year and Xbox...well..you know (anyway).  As for Nintendo, I can see them only needing three major titles from first party per year to seal the deal for popularity as a console. Their third party exclusives will only be icing on the cake. Moreso than the other brands, Nintendo thrives and simply survives on first party (which has given third party a hard time). It seems that times are changing for the better on  both ends as far as expectations from all parties invovled this generation. I expect more flexibility and with the prospect of a wider audience comes greater financial expectation. Luckily for Nintendo the cost of making exclusives for them is less than the competition.  Take Super Mario Rabbids as an example. This is a great idea that i'm sure was a cost effective venture. As It stands right now if Nintendo continues to get great third party reception and they accept their invitation, I only expect they need three major exclusives per year to play ball with the competition. If they falter...well...then thats subject to change. Lets not forget that Nintendo has to bring a lot of Wii titles that people missed out on oer to the E Shop. There are great propositions all around for Nintendo this gen (ok maybe not all around...forget online gaming until they fix it)
