The first to third party plan: backfiring or not?

Hopefully third parties are starting on games now that they know Switch will be very popular. It does make more sense for them to put AAA games they know will sell well on ps4/xbox/pc with one version of the game rather than create a less graphically intense version and add Switch into the mix because that would probably make it sell less on the other systems.
But I gotta think that with Switch's massive success and the huge opportunity for third parties to make boatloads of cash on the Switch's future install base, I would think that third parties will start supporting it well considering that they can spend a lot less money on Switch games because they don't have to put so many man-hours into making super realistic graphics and textures as they would for a ps4/xbox game. They can make an awesome looking game on the Switch for a lot less money, and sell millions, meaning profits would be higher. I think right now third parties are just afraid to compete with Nintendo. I mean Nintendo is the best software studio in the world and third parties have to compete with them on their own system, while third parties have mostly abandoned Nintendo systems for a couple generations so Nintendo buyers are used to buying mostly Nintendo games. Third parties have dug themselves a hole, but their is plenty of money to be made there, I really hope them embrace it and start putting AAA games on Switch. I don't just want to be playing Nintendo games on the Switch!

Slow down... you consider Nintendo the best studio... if the market itself considered it, WiiU wouldn't be where it is.

And unless Nintendo really pay a lot, there is no reason for them to put out an exclusive for Switch just because "it would cost less"... PS4+X1+PC userbase and general buying offset the gains from new console from Nintendo at less demanding development.
