The big stigma with Nintendo and western 3rd parties is the perception that only Nintendo games and exclusives can sell well on their platforms. Skyrim is a big test to me when it comes to western 3rd parties because it's a game that's both beloved by non-Nintendo gamers and made by a developer with no real presence on Nintendo platforms. If a game like that can sell an amount comparative to what it sold on the xbone then it destroys the stigma and I think it's possible because the Switch finally has a feature in its portability that can make a Switch version of a multiplat more desireable to some than one for the xbone or PS4.
