Switch is going to break the record and become the best selling console of all time. Believe it or not, these first two years are actually Switch's slow period. For the first two years, it's mostly just been selling on first party games alone and some indies and old third party ports. Starting in 2019 expect to see a lot more simultaneous releases from third party games and even some third party exclusives.

It's been a really long time since Nintendo had a home console with all of their first party games plus most of the best third party games too. It's going to be like the return of the NES, the most dominant console ever. Although domination in the modern era has a lot bigger stakes than it did in the 80's. Switch will become the best selling console of all time.

Ohh this, is.... Wow.

... you know Sony and Microsoft are releasing new console that are going to making porting to the Switch even more difficult than in it is now, right? Even now Switch ports are mostly all limited to games that aren't very resource intensive. Why on earth would this actually get better?

zorg1000 already gave an excellent answer to this.  But I would like to add that Switch by far the best selling platform in Japan right now.  That means it is the default platform for 95% of Japanese games currently in development.  These developers are not even questioning if their game should come to Switch.  Instead they are asking, "is it even worth it to port to a Sony/Microsoft platform?"  In very many cases that answer will be "no". 

Switch is going to have a ton of third party exclusives when all is said and done.  Sure most of these exclusives will be indie or Japanese, but they will still be third party exclusives.
