It's very relevant actually : casual 3rd party games sell much better on Switch so it gets more of them exclusively (Sumikko Gurashi, Fitboxing, Neko Tomo...)

I didn’t know SMT V, Yokai Watch 4, Octopath, or Bayonetta 3 are going to be casual games.

Let's make some things clear.
I didn't say that Switch would have only casual games. Of course it will have core games. Even WiiU had some.
I didn't say that every single core game would sell better on PS4 or that all core games would flop on Switch.
I'm speaking of economic TENDENCIES. We are on a sales website so we observe market orientations. It's not a matter of always/never.
Since I'm asked to define, a casual gamer is a person that spends less time & money in gaming than others.
What I'm saying is that Switch owners, in Japan and elsewhere, buy much less 3rd party games than PS4/X1 gamers, and even less when it comes to core 3rd party games (RPG, survival-horror, shooter, realistic racing, action, sports). In the other hand, they buy casual games and indies more often (Bomberman, Snack World and countless indies doing well on Switch).
So the conclusion is that Switch is likely to miss many core 3rd party games in the future (as E3 clearly demonstrated) and receive more casual games & indies than PS4/X1.
