First, some people need to realise that Switch is a quite different compared to XB1/PS4 in plenty of aspects, going from:
-hybrid concept
-power and architecture
-time of release and install base (that's rapidly shrinking when we comparing it to XB1, and next year probably Switch will have bigger install base)
-point that most of 3rd partys didnt released their big 3rd party games on Nintendo platform from SNES, and that Switch come out after failed Wii U where plenty of 3rd parties burned.
So, only with that on mind its very obvious why Switch still dont have strong 3rd party support when we talking about big 3rd party games, and why most likely never will have strong 3rd party support (at least compared to XB1/PS4, but can be strong for Nintendo platform) when we talking about big 3rd party games
With all that on mind, its obvious that Switch is not best suited for current gen big 3rd party games, that doesnt mean that Switch will not have any current gen big 3rd party game, but it means that people need to have realistic expectations when we talking about big 3rd party games on Switch and espacily when comparing that support to XB1/PS4.
Saying that, actually Switch for now has solid and positive 3rd party support for Nintendo platform, for instance we never before (or at least very long ago) had games like Skyrim, Doom, Wolf2, Diablo, CiV, mainline Final Fantasy games (even if we talk about last gens ports)...and thats very positive.
Also, some people need to realise that big 3rd party games takes time for development, all this years big 3rd party games were way back in development before it was very obvious that Switch will be successful platform with strong install base (IMO that become obvious at beginning of this year), for instance RDR2 is something like 7 years in development, so that's definitely one of reasons why Switch still dont have some big 3rd party games.
Second reason is that current size/availability/costs of Switch carts are problem for some 3rd parties, especially when we talk about big 3rd party games that would need 32GB or even 64GB carts. Vern (know insider from Resetera that knows plenty inside informations when comes to 3rd party project for Switch) said that he know that some unannounced 3rd party games are delayed because problem of size/availability/costs of carts. But luckily, WSJ reported that Switch will receive 64GB cards in 2019. and logically in same time we can expect that prices for 32GB and lower sizes will go down also.
So with all that on mind, Switch continue getting increased 3rd party support and I expecting more big 3rd party games than we had this year in any case.
I actually made a thread before, that Switch will have best 3rd party support than any Nintendo platform after SNES, and I still stand behind that, especially after last Direct announcements.
