"Nintendo makes consoles only for Nintendo games" Myth or fact?

Just turn it around. Third party developers don't make games for Nintendo consoles. They just got stuck back in "Sony PS2 days" and can't adapt.

The Nintendo Switch is the same thing that it has been since it was released 8 years ago. It's sold 140 million units. What do developers actually want?

It's not like any games are actually using the "power" of PS5 or Xbox anyway (maybe GTA6 will be the first?). I think developers plan on getting bought out by Microsoft/Sony more than actually making and selling games these days.

I'd say, depending on the hardware, many third parties not only make games for Nintendo hardware, but also make existing games better on virtue of the hardware features. And they've done this for all of Nintendo's most successful systems.
Some examples include:

• Street Fighter 2 (SNES)
• Wizardry (NES)
• Just Dance Series (Wii)
• Resident Evil 4 Wii Edition
• Scarface (Wii)
• House of the Dead (Wii)
• All those Wii exercise games
• The World Ends with You (DS)
• The 3DS Sega remasters

Then there are other games that appeal to niche audiences in the overall fanbase that benefit from Nintendo features - such as portability in Switch games (which is why I have several hundred hours on Witcher 3 for Switch).
