If we include digital only games in the sold Switch 1 software numbers, Switch 1 would already have a software tie ratio above 10, which would be much higher than for any previous Nintendo console. Which shows how succesful third parties have been on Switch 1. Already not counting digital only releases, Switch has a software tie ratio of 9,66, which is a record for Nintendo consoles. Only a few consoles have achieved a software tie ratio above 10: PS4, Xbox 360, PS3, and the original Xbox. So that level of software tie ratio has only been possible on non Nintendo consoles previously, due to the weaker third party support and sales on Nintendo consoles. So for Switch to join that milestone shows that lots have changed when it comes to third party sales on Nintendo platforms during the Switch era.
