PS4 dominates HW and SW, Mario Kart 8 on NS dominates as single best selling game, for now weekly but we know it will keep on growing for a long time.
NS SW Top 10 has just three Ninty games and seven third party ones, but the whole picture is different from what rankings tell, those three from Ninty are the Top 3 and represent over 85% of total NS SW sales. Are NS third party games utter shit, or it's Ninty gamers that just don't want them and poop on them as soon as they see them?

At this stage I think it's more a matter of third party Switch games just not being that appealing so far. Street Fighter is an overpriced port of a last gen XBLA game, Bomberman is the kind of thing that should be a $10 eshop game rather than a full priced retail release, LEGO City is a 4 year old port, etc.

There simply isn't anything so far that offers even close to the same kind of value as, say, Zelda.

Yes, it makes sense that third parties release their triple A titles when the user base is larger, and just Ninty sell such games since the beginning to help the platform taking off, and surely an expensive version of an old classic like Bomberman doesn't make sense, probably this comparison should be done again when NS user base will be larger.

Those PS4 numbers in Europe are insane, I guess Chartz  is trying to catch up to Sony's official PS4 sales numbers 

Persona 5 keeps getting closer to 1 million. Nier is out of the top 25 :( but hopefully it stays in the top 30 for many weeks more. It's having a fantastic run for the kind of game it is.

According to the wiki page

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wii_U

The wii u was over 3 million by the end of 2012 and close to 3.5 million at the end of March. However that was the start of the cliff edge where sales dropped considerably.  On the wiki page it says shipped but in the comments on the wiki page it says 3.5 million sold in the first 3 months of 2013.  It seems like in reality there was about half a million difference. Of course the Switch may not have the big slowdown of the wii u or that slowdown may come after a more significant number of units has sold.

But there's still one thing worrying for third parties, even taking into account your point:  1-2-Switch has sold more than ANY third party game.

Do you not understand the difference between units shipped and units sold?

Those numbers on Wikipedia are from Nintendo's SHIPMENT data. They shipped 3.45 million Wii U units by March 31, 2013, but only 2.7 million of those were actually sold. There were over 700k units that were just sitting on store shelves at that point, because Nintendo wildly overestimated how much they would sell. It's the exact opposite situation as the Switch, which is still sold out in most, if not all major markets.

The Switch is significantly ahead of both the Wii U and 3DS as of week 13.

3DS: 2.6 million

Wii U: 2.5 million

Switch: 4.1 million

And this with shortages. 

You are looking at shipped numbers, I suggest you look at this thread for the actual sales data of these consoles: http://gamrconnect.vgchartz.com/thread.php?id=228581&page=1#
