Switch's attach rate is now 8 games, which interestingly is more in line with Nintendo's home consoles than their handhelds, which had lower attach rates.
If you subtract Wii Sports as it was a pack-in with almost every system, the Wii is also at 8 games per console, as is the NES, the two most successful of their consoles.

No need for such shenanigans as substracting pack-in games when Switch's tie ratio will continue to grow anyway.

It wasn't a defintive measure of the two, the Wii does remain higher for now at 9 games per console, just an aside on how it affects the equation if we theoretically set it aside.

Wii U also has an attach ratio of around 9, while the highest attach ratio for their handhelds is the DS at just over 6.

Consoles tend to consistently sell more games than handhelds, and in this respect, the Switch is behaving much more like a console.
