What would it take for 3rd party sales to be larger on Nintendo Systems?

This isn't really the case with the Switch though, as per Nintendo's own numbers for several years now 3rd party software sales has been 50% or more of Switch's total software sold (and that doesn't include digital indie games either), so the majority of Switch owners are buying 3rd party software to some degree it would seem. 

Sure, but since the question was what it takes to increase the (already quite high) third party sales I still think that the significant subset of games sold is first party is relevant. Especially if one compare to the much smaller subset of first party games on other platforms. 

I don't think it really needs to increase that much. 

If 3rd party game sales are about half of that 1.3 billion, that's 650 million and climbing ... I mean that's probably about the same number of 3rd party games the XBox sells, and it's unquestioned that the XBox gets basically every major 3rd party game except for the small handful of 3rd party games Sony money-hats away (and even those pubs like Square-Enix are pushing back on doing that because it's an idiotic strategy that isn't paying dividends). 

With Switch 2 I think the ratio of 3rd party games to 1st/2nd party will naturally increase too simply because Nintendo won't be able to make the same number of games most likely.
