Does Nintendo suck at making "Core gamer" consoles?

Nah, the key here is that PS and Xbox don't offer much for core gamers if they aren't into AAA third party games.

Not to mention that zeldaring himself has demonstrated often enough already that he is a casual. In the above post he says that if you aren't playing Nintendo games on Switch, then you are basically just playing indie games. This is so laughably wrong that it can only come from a casual gamer (read: uninformed gamer) or a troll. Now it's up to him to argue which one of the two he is.

What games are big sellers other than Nintendo’s games? I think sales figures tell the story better then someone's opinion.

There's plenty of third party games that are successful on Switch otherwise third parties would've abandoned it like they did with the Wii U.

It's true that not every game sells like the Nintendo ones but they don't need to. Doom I believe sold like 1m-2m and it still was succesful enough for Bethesda bring Eternal to the Switch.

On topic, that's a subjective question. I consider myself a core gamer, but I value the versatility and portability of the Switch so I got and played tons of 'core' games in it. I had a blast playing stuff like Dragon Quest 11, Doom (2016), The Witcher 3, and in the future Dark Souls 1 on my Switch so I consider it pretty good for my own needs.
