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.

That dont change fact they are selling, VGC numbers are not most accurate we all know that, and they dont include digital sales, T2 and Bethesda said they are satisfied with sales of their games on Switch, thats why we have NBA 2K19 and new Doom game for instance.

I dont see that how future games can sell worse when games on Switch still selling very werll and Switch istall base is rapidly growing, next year Switch will have much bigger install base with much more potential buyers, you sound like Switch install base is shrinking. You cant relly comparing sales of games on same platform with 10-15m install base and with 30-40-50m+ install base.
