Why are third party games selling well on Switch?

It still shows people are willing to try/buy a more diverse offering of Switch software, we've also seen from Nintendo's reports that many of these games are selling very well like Hollow Knight. There have been spikes for things like FIFA on the eShop and Octopath has done really well there too. 

I don't think anyone has questioned the sale of indie games though. When people say third party games aren't selling well, they are generally referring to Western AAA games. Not Indies or Japanese titles. Small digital titles do very well on the Switch.

But they are wrong, Switch dont have big number of AAA 3rd party games but most of those 3rd party games that are on system selling/sold quite well, games like Skyrim, Fifa, NBA, Doom, Dragon Ball, Sonic, Crash, RE, Octopath Traveler...sold/selling quite well on Switch.
