Why are third party games selling well on Switch?

[Soundwave]

A million+ confirmed or probably close:

Octopath Traveller
Bomberman R
Rocket League
Minecraft

500k-750k most likey:

Skyrim
FIFA
Hollow Knight

Relative to what third parties have put out for the system, I'd say that's pretty good. If GTAV or COD were out, they would be 1+ million sellers no problem (probably 2-3+ mill for GTAV). Final Fantasy XV if ported even with downgraded graphics but some new content would sell 1-1.5 million copies. There's room for third parties to make some money here.
