Well, what I thought was more in the lines of them (Nintendo) creating an environment that is attractive for third parties and building a closer relationship with said parties, but what you said makes sense too and can be included in my reasoning, as it also plays a major part in the success of the Switch.

That's true; right now Nintendo is probably the most third party friendly they have been since at least the Gamecube, if not the SNES.

I assume you're talking about the quality of their hardware.  In terms of their actual relationship with third parties and how they treated them Nintendo was very unfriendly during the SNES years.  It took the failure of the N64 for them to realize they needed third party games.  Nintendo during the Wii and Wii U years was night and day more friendly towards third parties than during the SNES years.
