How many major exclusives does the Switch need to gain out each year to maintain popularity?

The question now isn't "how many" but "3rd party or not". They're having a dream-like 1st year in 1st party titles and that has been quite effective. But even if they keep releasing stellar 1st party titles in 2018 and beyond, that won't be enough to keep hardware sales high as all the people potentially interested in Nintendo-like experiences will have the system already. The only thing that can ensure strong momentum is major 3rd party exclusives but they aren't going to have many.

Btw, it's worth noticing how weak the Switch is in Q1 2018 for both exclusives and non-exclusives : they are like 30 PS4/PSV games that have a date/window up to Spring 2018, but Switch has like half a dozen in the same timeframe. I don't see how sales can keep up with PS4 in this situation.

It will sell better than it. Switch games are announced left and right and release pretty quickly. Do you honestly believe those 30 PS Vita games are going to interest anyone outside of an incredibly niche userbase?
