But my main point is that we are getting much more and more 3rd party announcements how time is passing and Switch continue to sell great and instal base is rising. You can bet after news that Switch already has 10m instal base just in 9 months that some 3rd parties decided to bring some games to Switch. In 2018. we will see incomparible much more 3rd party announcements than we had this year.

The Wii selling well didn't help, and it wasn't anchored by expensive carts. Switch isn't getting "much more announcements." It's getting throwbacks, and a tiny handful of multiplats. No reason to believe that any of that will lead to support approaching the SNES, which was essentially ubiquitous. Like I said, it's not even approaching GCN at this trajectory. Make a list of the multiplats Switch isn't getting in 2018, and tell me the future is as bright as the OP suggests.

Not exactly true mate what's out and announced is already more than what Wii had at the same point and on par with GC and this is 9 months in, GC only had support for a period of around 2 years as well some thing I'm sure Switch won't have any issue with, the Wii selling also did have an impact as why do you think games like COD were ported to it despite the effort it required and we're already seeing developers finding ways around carts anyway, even looking at the third party titles so far in 9 months:

DQXI
Doom
Skyrim
SMTV
Tales of Project
Dragon Quest Builders 1&2
DQ Warriors 1&2
DB Xenoverse
BlazBlue X
Wastelands 2
Fear Effect Reboot
RER 1&2 remaster
Outlast 1 &2
Megaman collection & XI
Octopath
LA Noire
Wolfenstein
Disgaea
Hollow Knight
Inazuma 11
Layton
I Am Setsuna
LCU
Minecraft
Shovel Knight
Yooka Laylee
Sonic Mania
Stardew Valley
Steamworld Dig 2
Steins Gate
Super Bomberman R
Super Meat Boy Collection
Valkriya Chronicles 4
No More Heroes
SF Collection

GC was not anymore solid than this 9 months in it was in fact very similar sure the Switch is missing out on certain games like Destiny and AC but then it makes up for that on first party titles and second party titles like Bayonetta 3, FEW, M&R etc... Switch isn't just getting minor titles like you claim GC on the other hand didn't get a sniff at games like DQ, Shin Megami and so on with nothing to really make up for it, GC started off okay with support and started losing it after 2 years NS started off quiet and has gained equivalent support extremely fast this is further referenced by Namco's recent statements.
