Can The Switch become the best selling video game console in Japan?

I really hope the Switch gets a much longer lifespan. 3rd party titles aren't really pushing the Switch's hardware anyway, and the sales aren't really affected by that, so there's no hurry to upgrade.

So far the number of software titles released on Switch has increased every year, and I think that is going to happen again this year.  So, I agree with what you are saying.  I want Switch to have more third party games, and it seems like they are coming.  For Japan, in particular, Switch is really now the only viable platform, so I think most development teams are in the process to converting to making only Switch games.  That takes a few years for that to happen though.

I'm not sure if that is really true. Most of the big japanese publishers have been very reticent to release their titles on the Switch, and it's been years now. Level 5, Atlus and Capcom supported the 3DS way more, Sega has mostly focused on Sonic and older ports, Konami is a no show because Konami... The ones that've been the most consistent has been SE and Spike Chunsoft, and with all of the SE buyout rumours, I'm not sure how long that is going to last.
