This question should also be valid for the future Switch 2, considering the gap from the current systems will be the same.
Nintendo never had an amazing relationship with third parties, but things were a lot worst during the N64 days. Since then this issue has been improving and today I think we're at an all-time high.
The problem now (it has been since Wii) is the power gap between Nintendo's console and the competitors and the storage.
But let's imagine that these weren't an issue. Do you think Nintendo would have a 3rd support just as good as the Playstation historically has or it would be closer to the Gamecube days*? (*most of the games would be there, but a lot of absences too).
And, since we're here, what do you think could be done to minimize this situation? I think the hardware will start to be less of a problem because games are much more scalable today than they used to be 15 years ago. But the storage problem will remain. Unless Nintendo decides to go full digital, which I'm sure they won't.
