How many physical game releases have their been though?  I assume less than 10.  That is a pretty low number but it should be 20+ by the holiday season or so.

Not sure why physical release is the barometer for games, but going from the Nintendo website, we have,

BotW, Bomberman, 1-2 Switch, Binding of Issac, Just Dance, Lego City Undercover, Puyo Puyo Tetris, and Mario Kart 8 Deluxe. 

So that makes 8. All but Bomberman and 1-2 are pretty much universally well regarded. 

I can't think of a single digital-only game which significantly boosted the sales of a console. Physical releases will have the biggest priority for console buyers and right now Switch has very little to offer on that aspect, so no wonder MK8D does so well. It is actually kinda sad we have to include physical releases of indie-games to make the Switch line-up look good.
