Now compare the software libraries of PS3/360 vs Gamecube. The former have much stronger lineups due to their much bigger install bases. Switch vs Wii U is another very telling comparison of how much sales matter in this regard.

The Switch still misses out on many major 3rd party games regardless if it has sold over 100m units. Sales don't always bring games over. Developers might bring them over due to a larger install base. yet some developers wont depending on how much the Port costs and if its playable. Gamecube had a staggering lineup of 1st and 3rd party exclusives even when it only sold 20m units. Some of the most sort after exclusives are on the Gamecube.

Switch has no shortage of third party games. It may not get every AAA PS/Xbox game but between the ports it does get, console exclusives, Japanese support, AA games, and indies, it is stacked with content. And it's not even close to done yet; it likely has years still ahead of it to grow its catalog.

Gamecube also missed out on a lot of major third party games, and overall has a much smaller library than Switch, PS3, or 360.
