Things have been different though. The first 3 years of Switch was a huge improvement over Wii U and Wii's output. It's just these first three months of 2020 that have been deadly silent. 

I'm not sure how the second year or the third year were, but the first year wasn't a great improvement.

Actually, you really couldn't tell the difference. If you compared 1st party titles - and only 1st party titles - you would see that the output was basically the same.

And honestly, if my memory serves me correctly, the last year couple years weren't that great either.
But even if they were, we are talking about a company that went from supporting 2 consoles, to supporting a single console. Which means that they had the human resources to pump out games on a steady basis.

Switch's first year had five great games, and a GotY Edition Port of MK8, all steadily released throughout the year. Wii U's first year launched with the phoned in NSMBU, and then had an 8 month drought until Pikmin 3 finally launched. It ended its first year with just three games the whole year. I don't care that Mario X Rabbids wasn't a 1st party game. That doesn't matter. All that matters is that Nintendo made sure the Switch offered up five fantastic games in the first year that were only playable on Switch. 

Also keep in mind that in 2017 3DS wasn't quite abandoned yet. Saying that Nintendo's output wasn't a great improvement ignores that they were still transitioning. 

And honestly, if my memory serves me correctly, the last year couple years weren't that great either.

2018 wasn't that great, but 2019 was a complete and utter avalanche of games, which more than made up for it.
