Is Nintendo Switch really a success?

Why shouldn't I be concerned?
Is Switch sold as portable, perceived as such and getting games as if it is a portable? No. Even if it has the monopoly of that market it doesn't necessarily mean it will sell and have a shelf life as other portables.
Does Nintendo have another device to fall back to when Switch faces real competition from PS5 ad XB2? No.

They would be better off for the future - whatever that future entails - if it had the type of 3rd party games that make Sony and MS consoles, primary consoles.

Switch is sold as hybrid, perceived as such and getting games as if it is a portable. If you haven't paid attention, Switch is inheriting all the support the 3DS and Vita got without a problem. You answered your own question wrong. But most importantly, Switch is already tracking ahead of the 3DS and will grow the gap significantly in the next few months.

Are you insinuating that PS4 and XB1 aren't real competition? They are cheaper than Switch and have bigger game libraries to fall back on. Do you really believe that more expensive consoles with smaller game libraries will make Switch unattractive all of a sudden?

Your whole line of thinking is very similar to the concerns that were raised during the Wii era. Nintendo ended up listening and made the Wii U, and the market sent a crystal clear message that AAA third party games aren't a selling point for a Nintendo console. None of those third party games managed to sell more than one million copies. Wii U wasn't the only console where Nintendo placed importance on AAA third party content though; there was also the GameCube. A decade before the Wii U Nintendo had already received the same message from the market. Nintendo's worst selling consoles are the ones that pursued the games you argue they should pursue.

Do you have any sales data that supports any of the points you are making?

Very good post with totally logical points and facts, but he will continue to ignore all that (ignoring facts and logical points) while go around them with more points without any logic and any data, and he can do that for weeks, just to know. ;)
