It'll be interesting to see if Switch sales can be sustained, with almost no 3rd party developers on board and a very thin lineup of games this year. If that 3rd party support doesn't materialize soon, the Switch is going to be in big trouble.

The Switch is off to a great start despite the same people that would try to downplay it. See above. Its only going to get better as ARMS, Splatoon 2 are right around the corner and games like Mario Odyssey, FE Warriors, Pokken DX, Xenoblade 2 are not too far behind. Barring Xenoblade 2 doesn't get delayed but considering they started composing the game months ago it should be just about done and unlike with X I get the idea Nintendo waited for the game to reach a certain point before they announced it where as with X it was a last ditch effort on Nintendos part to bolster Wii U sales by announcing games that were no where near being complete. Not to mention games like Sonic Mania, Shakedown Hawaii, Axiom Verge and other indie games which will include larger 3rd party games as well that will release between those big 1st party releases. I see a bright future for the Switch as it leaves a lot of salty trolls in its wake who are still dumbfounded that people bought a console that doesn't support 4K gaming and isn't 4 or 6 teraflops. lmao
