You just proved my point right. Didn't the 360 sell more than the PS3 for most of the generation with less exclusives? Was it because COD being the home to the 360? One of many giant 3rd party multiplat games found there home on the 360. Marketing big titles gets you the sales, not how many exclusives a system can dish out and only a handful being good ones. Explain how the Xbox manage to outsell the PS4 this month with less exclusives? Must of been all those amazing exclusives they released huh? Top 10 Best selling games on PS4 and only one of them is a PS4 1st party exclusive which is UC4 and that was also heavily bundled..
Erm Nintendo does cater to a larger audience, not every 3DS owner is a Nintendo fan, its called the Portable market. Also Zelda and Mario Kart aren't even Switch Exclusives since there ports. So if you are going to count Zelda and MK8 as exclusive Switch games than might as well throw in every X1 Exclusive game that made it on PC. The point here is the X1 came 2nd with the smallest library of 1st party games released in 2017 and it manage to beat PS4 which has a lot more games. The Switch with a much smaller library than both competitors came 1st. It doesn't matter if you have hundreds of 1st party games or 3 in 2017, you can outsell the competitor by clever marketing. 1st party games can help with marketing however all they really have to do is market GTA, COD, RDR2 etc and watch the sales benefit those with the marketing campaigns.

And not every Nintendo hardware owner is a Nintendo fan whether it's a console or a portable. Still about the games.
As I mentioned in an earlier post:
"You cater to your core audience and others will notice."
It's a collateral effect.
