Switch is no PS4 or XB1, but it certainly will hold its own. A lot of "continuous" ports was a good sign. Actually the Wii U had a better head start in terms of quantity of games but the Switch has been steadily building its profile since with its ports, and adding a reason to play them (portability) which the Wii U never offered. Also games like Wolfenstein, Diablo, Civilisation, Doom 1 and 2, DQX, Final Fantasies and others have shown growing support for the Switch. Indies have also really made this system quite diverse. Obviously it won't be the system to push the best performance games but it gives a nice option to play some of these games on the Go.

I think people seem to forget that the portability is at least half the appeal of the system and it was always going to compromise on performance but I think the Switch did well in the compromise. And when they can release first party titles like they did, I don't think companies had much of an excuse not to invest in it. You look at how Bethesda reacted and they have really put the Switch on the forefront of their support which has never happened before. I think all companies have warmed up to its appeal and 2019 will show more of that.
