It's amazing how low you're willing to set the bar.

Third party support for Wii U increased from its first year to its second year as well. Same goes for Vita. Did third party games sell well on Wii U and Vita?

My standards are fine, you're just making things up, Wii U & Vita support was best in the first 12- 18 months and got worse after that.

At this point Wii U was just getting kid/family titles and ok indie support while Vita had carved out a niche for indies and small-medium Japanese titles.

I'm making things up? On what grounds?

"kid/family titles and ok indie support" that results in more third party game sales over the previous year is still an increase in third party support.
"indies and small-medium japanese titles" that results in more third party game sales over the previous year is still an increase in third party support.

Let's not forget that the world's biggest publisher, Activision/Blizzard has put out a total of two Switch games. EA, the second biggest publisher, will have put out its third Switch game when FIFA 19 comes out. Both of those companies supported the WIi U and Vita better in their first two years. In fact Activision/Blizzard put out 15 Wii U games it first two years, and EA put out six Vita games in its first two years.

You're just shifting the goalposts now so that "increase in third party support" only applies to the kind of games the Switch is getting.
