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.

And again, I'm not talking about other platforms and the third party titles available on them. You can keep spinning, but you're in the mud with no traction. Switch owners, at this point in time, don't care as much about third party as they do first party.

Sorry, you're not even reading my argument. What you say is basically like this: "Mario games don't sell on PS4. Proof: zero sales. So obviously PS4-gamers don't care about Mario games."

This is your argument. Because unreleased software isn't selling you conclude the Switch gamers don't care for said unreleased software. This is ridiculous.
