Sorry man, it goes two ways...

Nintendo fans (you can look in this site) are very positive on their anti-3rd parties hate, and calling it deserved... but when it is on people that aren't interested in Nintendo games it must be a hater that hates only for the sake of it because no one couldn't be interested in at least one game from Nintendo.

It is the same coin, on one side you aren't accepting that ALL 3rd parties TOGETHER can't be better and sell better than any game Nintendo have in the genre. Just look at your argument it is basically the same put inverting Nintendo with 3rd parties.

I don't see 3rd party hate from Nintendo fans for genuinely good games...

Look at sales of Steamworld Dig 2 or the recent Super Meat Boy sales almost matching it's 360 launch...

The 3 big platform will undoubtedly attract different demographics - I don't see sports games ever selling as well on Switch for instance.

But having leanings towards certain genres is completely different from having a 3rd party bias.

All told, so far on the Switch, 3rd party games have been selling well, especially considering the bigger games are generally ports.

So, no, it's not the same coin.

In fact, point me to a single Nintendo fan that doesn't want strong 3rd party support?

Yes sure... "genuinely good games" is that the cop out? A game sells 20M on other platforms but almost nothing in a Nintendo platform, it mus be because it isn't genuinely good, like Nintendo fans are the ones to decide what is genuinely good and the rest buy any garbage.

I'll point you a complete VGC community that complains about most if not all 3rd party games, and if one game doesn't get ported (one he wouldn't buy anyway) the company deserves to go broke for their lack of love and support for Nintendo.

But still waiting for you to point me a genre where Nintendo have a hallmark game that is outsold by a 3rd party multiplatform game in consonance with what happens on other platforms where in fact most of the top sellers are 3rd parties...
