Came up in a discussion a bit ago that 


A: typically 80% of game sales on the Switch are 1st party. 

and


B: That PS5 can sell as many 3rd party games in a quarter as the Switch does in its entire lifespan. 

...Curious what would solve that, as I can't imagine that's a number anyone is anything more than satisfied with (I'm sure Nintendo wants more sales to get more platform kickback and obviously 3rd parties want to sell more). Is it a case of when the game releases (the Switch delay for even well selling Switch titles with multiple millions like Xenoverse 2 and FightersZ, a audience problem, a promotion problem from one end or the other, a graphical comparison problem, some other issue...

Is it like that Shawn L quote about how 1st party games shouldn't compete with 3rd party or whatever it was and thus a unavoidable problem? 



The Democratic Nintendo fan....is that a paradox? I'm fond of one of the more conservative companies in the industry, but I vote Liberally and view myself that way 90% of the time?
