I think it depends on taste. I personally think Civilization 6 is a big game. And it's a game that isn't coming to other consoles on top of that. Diablo 3 is a big game too. It really is a matter of taste.

The OP isn't saying that there aren't big games coming to Switch, but rather that only a limited number of them are.

I believe the OP said that big third party games are nearly non-existent on the Switch.  Hold on lemme check.

So I still occassionally check out Nintendolife.com, the nintendo reddit page and a few gaming magazines I have sent to my house regularly. Nothing seems to have changed despite how popular the Switch is right now. Big third party games are still nearly non-existent on the Switch. As far as I can tell not one of the big Holiday block busters are coming to the switch this year.

Reminds me of the Wii, except even the Wii got some of the big names. The Switch is not even getting COD, even the Wii U got COD. What is the reasoning for this now? Has Nintendo explained why this is still happening?

Yep, that's what the OP said.  And he has a point.  If you really want to play CoD, then Switch is not going to make you happy.  On the other hand if you want to play a game like Civ 6, then Switch will make you very happy.  It depends on taste.  

I personally don't play FPS games, so when I look at the PS4 the library, it looks barren to me.  I know logically that it huge library of games.  It just has nothing for me.  On the other hand I really like turn based strategy games like Civ 6.  But I can understand that the OP might be the opposite.  Maybe he doesn't like strategy games, but really needs the latest FPS or open world third-person shooter.  So to the OP, it looks like Switch has no big games compared to the other consoles.  It's really a matter of taste.
