The one thing I'm not hearing anyone talk about is the fact that Nintendo has not announced any first party titles. Kirby is done by HAL, Yoshi by Good Feel, Pokemon by Game Freak and Fire Emblem is Intelligent Systems (technically a separate company from Nintendo). Nintendo has not said a word about their first party line-up for 2018.
Nintendo makes about 6 games a year (including Retro, NDCube and Monolith), so there is a lot of potential for big hitters such as a 2D Mario, Animal Crossing or even Nintendogs (which is a series I expect will return eventually). Additionally, I expect Nintendo will have some new IPs or revivals coming next year as well. And perhaps this is a pipedream, but I could also see From Software and Platinum working on exclusive titles for Switch (perhaps even in a way Bloodborn was done for Sony).
You also have third parties which are committing more exclusives to the platform. In addition to ports (as Bethesda and Ubisoft have seen success) and indie titles, you'll see a ton of software on the Switch. The system broke 200 titles this summer and that was only shortly after no one wanted to commit software to it. 2018 (and especially 2019) will be very big years.
