The Switch's performance this year has been impressive considering the platform's relative lack of third party support and the big first-party titles this year to date having been Octopath Traveler and the latest Kirby game. Nintendo's launch year first-party line-up, together with a rapidly expanding indie library, have proven almost single-handedly sufficient for the Switch to have a second sales year just as impressive as it's first.
