No one chugs as many games out as Nintendo do. If you take away 3rd parties for the PS4, the droughts will be there, probably even more severely. It's also important to note that the Switch release wasn't long ago, and Nintendo is just starting to patch up its relationship with 3rd parties. When you consider 2-3 year development cycles, and the fact that most 3rd parties - understandably - wouldn't have invested in the Switch early on, then these games will take time to release. We're only starting to see a couple of ambitious ports here and there, and the trend will go on. Hopefully we start seeing some exclusive Switch games soon.

it is still a drought though. Just means Nintendo can't entice 3rd parties to make the games for their system until its too late in the cycle to matter.

They need to stop playing around and release hardware which makes it easy to port for 3rd parties from project they are working on.  2-3 years from now is pointless when the competition will release next gen systems that will make it impossible to port.

I agree with this partially, but seeing as this is a handheld system it is clear that while they didn't push for the highest specs, they had to release a system that wasn't too expensive either. The fact that some games this gen are being ported is good by their standards. What happens in 2-3 years will determine its future, but probably a switch pro will be released by then to handle that jump
