Capcom: "MHW can't be done on Switch." But might make a Switch specific MH game. (Rumor)

Eh, that Nintendo dominates the charts is because most 3rd-party games aren't released on Switch in the first place. For games that are released, the sales are around the level of the Xbox One: http://gamrconnect.vgchartz.com/post.php?id=8833537

I'm not taking about 3rd parties selling better on one platform over another. I'm saying that Switch owners don't care as much about third party as they do first party, which is clearly observable in sales figures.

Again, as most great selling 3rd-parties aren't even released on Switch they can't sell. You can only compare multiplats, and in this area Switch keeps level with XB1.

For first party the same can be said. I think everyone agrees that many Nintendo titles are of high quality. While Sony can deliver some titles of high quality, they overall lag behind. Microsoft can't deliver first party content to match the other two. So again: non-existant titles can't sell.

To show this difference, let's take a look at the highest selling new first-party offerings 2017:

Nintendo	Sony	Microsoft
Super Mario Odyssey: 7.7M	Horizon: Zero Dawn: 4.5M	Forza Motorsport 7: 1.1M
Mario Kart 8 Deluxe: 6.3M	Gran Turismo Sport: 2.8M
Breath of the Wild: 6.0M	Uncharted: Lost Legacy: 1.8M
Pokemon Ultra Sun/Ultra Moon: 5.3M	MLB: The Show: 1.1M
Splatoon 2: 4.1M

As you can see it is obvious why people on Switch prefer first party offerings to third party offerings: third party games mostly miss the Switch, while first party content is excellent. For the other consoles it is the other way round. If Sony and Microsoft start to create more desirable first party content, you'll see also gamers on their platforms will start to get more of this content.
