consider that this is a console that has been available over six years and some of those you listed are Wii U ports (indeed, two of the top four best selling Switch games are Wii U ports)

I love nintendo games, but nintendo is not doing a good job supporting the switch at all, and the library is not notably better than the Wii Us

so no, I dont think that the switch selling so much is based on the merits of its library when compared to previous consoles

I'm not sure this logic tracks. Based on console and software sales for both Wii U and Switch, most people buying the Wii U ports likely never played them on Wii U. Thus, to them, it's new content, and would indeed count toward the merits of the Switch library.

The Switch also has a rather high software attachment rate, suggesting people are indeed buying games for it at a pretty decent rate.

It's easy to try to dismiss things by saying "Look at all the Wii U ports," but so few people bought a Wii U that the games are basically brand new to the majority of people.
