I would hope that as well but just having ~5-10% of the people who bought the big Nintendo games buying the big 3rd party games (Skyrim, FIFA, Doom) on the Switch is not a good sign. What's even more bizarre is when I see people tout those numbers as being good for 3rd parties on this website. It's not. Switch is doing great with indies. Not with big third party publishers at retail. Its on track to have much less software parity than the Wii, and I'm not seeing any recognition of this issue by anybody.

I'd think NEW 1st party software would naturally sell more than old ports (Skyrim, Doom), and  FIFA isn't a fair comparison either as Nintendo's strongest markets (NA, and Jap) aren't into soccer as much as Europe where the PS4 dominates. The Switch is a year old, too early to paint doom and gloom for 3rd parties just yet.
