This statement is false as portability plays a huge factor.  Just recently I get to play...

 

Starlink

Dragonball FighterZ

Ys VIII

Valkeria Chronicles 4

Wolfenstein  2

South Park

Crash n Sane

Warframe

etc

 

All of these games are great games that I would have a hard time finding the opportunity to play if not for the Switch.  Dragon Quest XI and Mortal Kombat 11 will join those ranks as well.  So yeah, there is plenty of reason to buy a Switch for many people outside of just Nintendo games as the games I listed are only a few of the most recent and do not even come close to the entire library of full retail games available on the Switch.

In my case, my main gaming platform is PC. Consoles for me are just for exclusives which i can't get on PC. The only switch exclusive that interests me so far is Zelda, this is why I concluded that, so far, it's not worth buying a Switch just for one game.

And that makes sense, we are all different.  In your case, portability is not a factor so 1st party IPs would be the deciding factor.  If you are not into them, then you are not into them.  However if you were only speaking about YOUR needs, you should have specified as much.

 

However the way you worded it implied that the only reason for ANYONE to get one was 1st party IPs, while ignoring the various other factors involed.  Your gaming needs to not equal the needs of everyone, or even most people.  We all have unique lifestyles and needs for our gaming after all.
