Clear logic says that games will sell better if platform is more popular and install base is better than if we have another Wii U situation.

3DS hardware is very week, most of developers didn't want to bother with such weak hardware, Switch is incomparible stronger than 3DS and actual 3rd party game can run on it.

3DS still had perfectly good engines for more Metal Gear, Tekken, Ridge Racer, Street Fighter, FIFA, Madden, etc. games ... none of those developers bothered, even the many of the Japanese devs and I don't think Switch will sell even as well as the 3DS. So we'll see. 

Nintendo fans need to start actually buying some third party content too, this is part of the problem. I will buy NBA 2K because I actually like sports games, but the rest of the Switch fan base ... lol, I doubt it. 

With the Wii U it was a lot of bitching and crying when games ran like 5 fps slower than the PS3/360 and that was the justification for not supporting games, well guess what? Switch is not going to be parity either. It's weaker hardware. People better support these games or they're not going to get more or them. That's just the bottom line. 

3DS has shit week hardware, like wrote, most of developers didn't want to bother with such weak hardware and 240p screen.

Switch owners will buy games they want, period. Luckily, on Switch there will not be just Nintendo fans who want only 3rd party games.

But reality is that 3rd parties are more positive about Switch than they were for Wii U, reality is that Switch has very modern tech and architecture compared to Wii U hardware and that can also affect 3rd parties, reality is also that 3rd parties are aware of fact that with Switch people can play their console games on go to (that isnt able on XB1/PS4 for instance) and that can attract some buyers (like I wrote I saw people saying they buying Swith so they could play Skyrim on go).
