So I was thinking about this earlier. Isn't Nintendo kind of the polar opposite of Microsoft right now? MS sell most of its systems because of multiplats while it has lackluster exclusives (sales wise). Nintendo sells most of its systems because of exclusives with lackluster multiplat support. Microsoft has poor Japanese third party support resulting in worse sales in Japan. Nintendo has poor western 3rd party support, resulting in worse sales in the west. Just something to think about.
Also, I don't think it should be understated just how bad MS was set back at its launch and perception to this day. Nintendo isn't anywhere near that position right now. Switch still looks good from a PR perspective, even if there are concerns being voiced. It undoubtably will be a massive hit in Japan, something neither manufacturer is doing right now, and it has a steady cadence of games that will help drive the installed base in the west at least respectably.
