This thread is only interesting in that it raises the question, "Will Switch succeed because of third parties or will it succeed in spite of third parties?"

I actually think it is the latter. Nintendo handhelds always succeed and they always have strong first party and third party support. However, I expect Switch sales to decrease in 2018. But in 2019, Switch sales will surpass this year's sales and then keep rising. By 2019 we will get Pokemon and a ton of third party games will hit (mostly Japanese third party games). All of those games coming out in 2019+ will make 2017 seem like a slow year for the Switch.
