Nintendo's success with the Switch both a blessing and a curse?

Um... Xbox 360 versions of games outsold PS3 just last generation pretty consistently... so even just 5/6 years ago it wasn't the "best brand" for 3rd party games... that's why I don't believe that 80+ million units for the PS3, it doesn't add up with software sales.

As for those games on Nintendo hardware, they are usually shells of the other console versions so they don't sell on Switch consoles very well, if they were full fledged versions of the game though I bet they would sell just as well, if not better.

The fact that GTAIV sold more on the 360 surprise me. Im not sure why you don't believe the PS3 sold 80M though. Could be there were just a more diverse audience on the PS3.

I changed my statement to further clarify what I meant about the PS3 sales, it sold a lot at the end of it's life and I feel that was because Microsoft pissed a lot of their player base off with how they handled the Xbox One and it's announcement.  Still have a hard time believing those 80 million units saw full "use" in the generation if that makes sense.
