It´s quite dificult to come up with data, apparently. But considering the total number of sold consoles, I would argue that some people picked up a third party game here and there.
Can only talk for myself, but most of my library are non-Nintendo games.

Those numbers are waaay off, In Japan Minecraft is over 4 million, physical alone.

The Hitman collection that was announced yesterday has no Switch version currently.

No but I meant the old Hitman game on Switch, and I had a look and it was Hitman: Absolution, which will get a Switch 2 upgrade - different from the remaster collection

Switch gets ea sports, cod , all square enix, lots of new capcom... and you guys are arguing over Hitman.

We can focus on plenty of other games that don't have a Switch version announced if you want.

Is basically the same as past year, when the titles get announced the same people are going radio silent.

Anything's better than hitman.

lol I first mistyped that as Hitnan .. that would be a much more awesome game. Someone's Nana who takes people out!

Another odd one is Onimusha: Way of the Sword because Capcom have announced Veronica will be on the Switch 2, so why not Onimusha?

This is a weird omission, since it seems like Capcom is otherwise fully committed to day-and-date releases on Switch 2. Surely Onimusha can't be harder to get running on the platform than Monster Hunter Wilds.

My only guess is maybe they know they can't get it optimized in time to release alongside other platforms and don't want to say "Switch 2 version coming on 2027" out of fear that it will dampen their initial sales on other platforms in Japan.
