Is the Switch's 3rd Party Support a Major reason why the Switch is selling well?

I certainly helps but I wonder if those AAA ports are selling well. Because if not this third party support can vanish quickly.

Agree. The top 10 best-seller third party games on Switch should have been posted on the thread for us to get a better picture. At least we can make some calculations of the percentage of Switch owners who buy these games.

Here they are. The data is directly taken from this site's sales numbers.

And for better comparison, I also added the numbers for both PS4 and Xb1

I only picked the best selling game per franchise, because having 3, 4 or more of the same "game" distorts the picture quite heavily.

I also ignored GTA V for obvious reasons.
