During the 7th gen I argued this was happening with Wii as well. Many or most of them were also gaming on a PS3 or 360. However, difference might be Wii owners eventually upgraded to PS3 or 360 while Switch owners already have PS4 or X1. That might also explain why developers tend to ignore Switch for core games, why bother when much of the Switch audience has the other platforms.
