Well to be fair, there's not exactly a lot of RPGs on the Switch currently and there probably will not be for a long time. The Switch is an odd console because it's really the best system for RPGs, yet because the big third party japanese developers put all their eggs in the Sony basket, you're really only left with the scraps. We also don't know how a majority of niche 3DS developers are feeling about the Switch, but if I had to guess i'd say they're in a pickle, the 3ds as a closed environment allowed for great success for niche franchises because the specs and pricing of software allowed for a lot of copies to be sold. Now they're competing for shelf-space, and for consumers, on a console that can do a hell of a lot more than what they previously advertised on the 3DS. Plus, despite being a traditional console, the PS4 has sold niche software quite well.
The point is that that's not really a good argument yet because the Switch isn't the place to be for those "oddball" 3rd party RPGs. The PS4 is. It will be in 2 years time maybe. There is still some goods to chew on, Xenoblade 2 being a great first party RPG, and Octopath Traveler being one of my most anticipated games of 2018. But if you were to say "I like how the Switch has those oddball RPGs that sell over the GTA's, COD, etc." that wouldn't be an accurate statement.
