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.

On the grounds that support dropped significantly after the first year.

At bolded-I think you misunderstood what i meant about those Wii U/Vita games. I was pointing out that after the first year 3rd party support evaporated outside of specific types of games. This has not happened with Switch which is getting a pretty diverse range of games recently and on the horizon.

How many games did EA release on Wii U after the first 6 months? I cant think of any. You are missing the whole point i am making. Wii U/Vita support started out pretty strong but after about a year or two it dropped significantly and only recieved specific types of games.

No goal-post shifting on my part, the number of devs supporting Switch is increasing, the majortiy of devs that have released games on Switch are continuing to support it and the library is continuously getting more diverse. This is the exact opposite of Wii U & Vita, they both had strong support off the bat but as time went on many devs stopped supporting them and they only recieved games targeted to specific demographics.

I'm sure when Rol looks up those numbers, you're going to be surprised. It appears your memory is not as strong as you think it is.

You can cheery pick and shift those posts all your want. I really don't care how low you set that bar.

Look, by the abysmally low standards that you're using to judge the Switch's third party support over its first two years, third party games are selling well on the Switch. Congratulations. Pat yourself on the back. Gold medal for your mental gymnastics routine.

Happy?
