Yes they do, we have numbers, publishers statements, we even have comparison of games on XB1 where around half of compared games sold better on Switch despite smaller install base, not to mention that plenty of Indies stated their games sold best on Switch. 

So we dont talk only about better sales than on Wii U, but better than on 3DS and Wii for current install base,  and even better in plenty of cases than same games on XB1. 

Also we dont talk only about 3rd party games, games are generally selling very good on Switch. 

Here we go again.

tl;dr: the VGC community has bought twice as many third party than first party games.

All that shows is how unrepresentative of the gaming community VGC is.

Because it's far cheaper to make another release of FIFA that already exists on Switch than it is to port Madden. FiFA's 18 Switch sales are good enough to justify another FIFA game, but not good enough to justify starting the process of starting the port of an entirely new game. I've been in the room when EA asked my company to take on porting one of the games mid-development cycle on one of their legacy platforms. They literally had a formula they used based on sales reports to determine which platform gets which game, and how much of an investment it justified. But let's be clear, that's just EA's criteria (and this was years ago), and every publisher is different. All I know is the fact is that there is no Madden 19 for Switch means its incredibly likely that EA is not very optimistic about sales on Switch as a platform.

That being said, Bethesda has different criteria for porting games to Switch, as does every publisher.  It's entirely plausible they're willing to accept a profit margin on a title that is below what EA will accept.We also don't know if they have a deal with Nintendo where Nintendo is either partially funding, or discounting  their platform fees in order to facilitate Bethesda's continued efforts.

Third party games are selling "very well" on the Switch based on what criteria? Compared to other Nintendo platforms? Sure. Compared to Sony or Microsoft platforms? Definitely not. Based on the the investments third parties are making in releasing new Switch games after the first year or so of sales? That's a bit lukewarm to be honest.

Why would Switch success bother me? I own one. I also have a pro controller, and over a dozen games, many of which are third party., I *want* the Switch to do well. I *want* third party games to sell well. You don't actually think that anyone that disagrees with how well third party games are selling on the Switch must be a "Switch hater" or anything like that, do you?

I hope every nintendo gamers are like you.because nintendo needs it.third parties are more important than ever and nintendo knows it.

The day when third parties will on nintendo platform start selling more than those typical rinse repeat games aka Mario and Pokemon then we can all say that third party sell well on nintendo platform.until then we can only hope.

Third-party devs do Xbox One-level sales on Switch, depending on the title: http://gamrconnect.vgchartz.com/thread.php?id=236419

Very interesting, although I suspect when we cross compare with Wii, we will see plenty of stuff was viable, even mediocre titles. But it is excellent to see the Switch do so well on the third party front - if these numbers are reliable.

So you're going with your gut feeling instead of all the evidence I posted in an earlier post.

Just lol... And yes they're selling well, also compared to PS4 and Xbox One. Your problem is that you only look at the AAA market and think that's all that matters. Well, how many third party AAA Switch titles have released simultaneously with other consoles?
