Perhaps you should look up the sales of first party PS4 games. The results might surprise you. Sony first party titles are selling higher than most Nintendo IPs all while third party sales are thriving, and they have multiple genres covered in their first party offerings. This seems like a pretty silly argument.

It’s also nice that PS4’s userbase is up 4:1 on Switch.

Wii U total sales:  ~14 million

Retail sales:
Mario Kart 8:  7.7M
New Super Mario Bros U: 5.6M
Super Smash Bros. U: 5.1M
Splatoon: 4.7M

Switch total sales: ~20M

Retail Sales:
Mario Odyssey: 10M
Mario Kart 8 Deluxe: 9.2M
Breath of the Wild: 7.8M
Spatoon 2: 6M

Using the userbase as an excuse why games aren't selling as well on a Nintendo platform as they would on others is complete nonsense. Nintendo has continuously demonstrated that you don't need a huge userbase to have huge sales.
