For me, all else being equal, I would say that a system needs to get most of the big third party titles at launch on the other systems, for it to be considered good third-party support. By this standard, switch has terrible third-party support.

But, good is a relative term. It looks like switch may have good third party support, relative to Wii U, for example.

With all of that said, I don't personally care weather switch gets good third-party support. I do most of my gaming at home, on my couch. So, if a big AAA title releases on all systems, including Switch, at the same time, I would probably buy it for Playstation or Xbox anyway. But, when I have some travel coming up, I will generally pick up a game for Switch. And for those occasions, there are more than enough third party games to keep me satisfied.

Then there are the Nintendo games. That's really what I buy Nintendo systems for. So, I'd still own every Nintendo console even if they got zero third-party support.
