Firstly, there was 3rd party support when it launched. Secondly, see the double standards: first you say Wii U failed because of the lack of third party support, but the huge 3rd party support Wii had, you diss completely. Every argument you're making there is proven false by history.

Like Einstein said: insanity is doing the same thing over and expecting different results.

Lack of third-party support was a major reason WiiU failed; the games that most gamers wanted were not on the system. The Wii, as any gamer knows, succeeded on the merit of its novel motion controls, not its power or third-party support. GTA, for instance, was not on the Wii in any form. That is relatively insane and is a prime example of why Wii's biggest hits were first-party games. That's all part of my singular argument.

History is also on my side here; the top 17 best-selling games on the Wii are all first-party: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_best-selling_video_games#Wii

Why does that prove my point? The 2 best-selling CoDs were on Wii and they don't crack that list, despite selling enough more than all but the top 5 Wii games. The aforementioned GTAs (IV, SD, and V) would have checked in as top 2, 6, and 6. There's the real history: no support, limited support, or withdrawn support, due to technical limitations. 

So, are you now trying to say 3rd support don't matter, or what? If the third parties did not matter on Wii, why should they matter on Switch? Wii U failed because of the lack of third party support, when it in fact had much better 3rd party support at this point of time relative to release than Switch has, or Wii had. 

I don't know a single person, gamer or otherwise (despite you arguing gamers buying the Wii for it's controls) buying Wii for it's controls. And by looking at that pretty insane number of game sales on Wii, game sales support my side.
