According to this report, 3rd party sales for the Switch ecosystem (so Switch 1 + 2) surged 76% upwards year over year in June to Dec 2025 (so post Switch 2 launch) versus the same period in 2024 ... that indicates 3rd party sales on the Switch 2 must be fairly decent to quite good.

Third party revenue rose to $2.3 billion in June to Dec 2025 versus $1.3 billion in June to Dec 2024.
This is before 2026 too when we've seen games like Final Fantasy VII Remake and Resident Evil 7/8/9 release.
