As others have said, the Switch's specs won't likely be able to play games like Red Dead Redemption 2 or Far Cry 5. Plus, a lot of these games that have released this year or are planned for early 2019 were likely developed at the time when the Switch was a relative unknown to developers in terms of either specs-wise or sales-wise.
However, with Switch having some of the latest engines applicable, such as Unreal Engine 4, it should be able to play games like Soul Calibur VI and KHIII. In fact, part of the reason for DQXI's port development issue is because the game was playing on a more outdated version of UE4 while the Switch is running the latest version.
I'm not expecting the world for the Switch, in terms of AAA third-party games. However, I think it is possible for some developers to start taking notice on what the Switch is capable of, especially with games like DOOM, Wolfenstein, Skyrim, Dragon Ball FighterZ, Octopath Traveler, Dragon Quest Builders, Civilization VI, Diablo III, Valkyria Chronicles 1 and 4, Fortnite, Arena of Valor, and Warframe. The Switch may not have the many AAA third party games, especially from the West, but it is already establishing a very respectful library in less than 2 years of its life.
