Xbox One; was it a successful console?

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.

So both the Switch and Gamecube miss out on plenty of AAA 3rd party exclusives and one console sits on 90m+ units sold and the other sold 21m units. Those Switch sales haven't done enough to get all those games on board. See my point yet? Sales help but they are not everything, otherwise the Switch would have majority of 3rd party games, yet not all companies see the potential of porting games to the fairly high userbase.

Let me put it this way; if the Switch had sold on par with Gamecube, do you honestly think it would have even close to the amount of third party support that it has in reality?
