It's going to need stronger 3rd party support if it's going to succeed long term, and that will happen if it keeps selling like it has been out of the gate. But, right now and at least until the end of the calendar year, it's got a nice selection of games on the way even without major 3rd party backing.
Unfortunately the gaming public doesn't see things that way, especially when they've seen many of the Switch's games elsewhere before on other consoles. I mean, it's always been something of a rip-off how Nintendo rarely discounts their games, in contrast to every other publisher on the planet that regularly and incremental reduces the prices of their games after launch. It's as Nintendo doesn't believe the value of games depreciates with time, which has no doubt lead to their current third-party problems. A constant supply of new content is needed to maintain interest in a console; Nintendo's own first-party output has never been able to keep up with demand, that's why third-party support is desperately needed by the Switch if it wants to survive.
