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.

4 of the games you listed there are not Western...  and I would say some of those games didn't exactly sell "well" either. It's not a concrete term so everyone has there own ideas. But tbh I wouldn't say Doom with 0.35m "Sold Well", or NBA with 0.38m "Sold Well".

"Well" is better than "Ok" which is better than "Acceptable", I would probably classify Doom as "Acceptable."

But tbh I think it's just going to get worse, we'll see. But I feel like the next Fifa will sell worse on Switch than the current. The "New console, must buy everything!" affect is wearing off, and the amount of games to choose from is increasing.
