Are individual indies major system sellers? Not likely. Are the combination of dozens of high quality indies a system seller? Potentially.

Games like Rocket League, Celeste, Hollow Knight, Dead Cells, Stardew Valley, Overcooked, Golf Story, etc have gotten alot of attention on Switch and most indies these days sell significantly more on Switch than other platforms, often more than all other platforms combined. For many of these games its also the only portable platform and many indie games are perfect for on the go gaming.

While this is true..... its also true that everything ets scaled up with each new gen. Chances are that there will be indie games made fr the PS5/XBn that also just won't run on the NS. 

Highly unlikely though as indie developers will focus maximizing their reach and sales so ensuring their games works on the NS will be a priority.

The number of indies that cant run on NSW in the next 5 years is probably pretty miniscule.

The only 3rd party support that Switch is really at risk of losing when PS5/XB4 release is AAA titles and Switch already doesnt get many of those.
