Switch will sell well in Japan guaranteed, in the US and Yurope unknown, even if the Switch outsells the PS4 in Japan 5 to 1 Japanese companies will still see the PS4 as the major platform and Switch will see no major Japanese third party releases, but games like Animal Crossing, Mario Kart, Tomodachi, Monster Hunter, Dragon Quest, Splatoon, Super Mario Bros and Pokemon will ensure that in spite of no major third party support the system will still sell well in Japan.
I'm doubtful Nintendo will attract the Niche dev crowd on the Vita, not that the system isn't a perfect fit for those devs, I just have a feeling they will stay on Playstation hardware.
In the west the Switch will have a great launch and will stagnate after that, but it won't stagnate anywhere near as bad as the WiiU, Western third party support will dry up within the first year, however this won't be an issue of the Switch selling poorly, even if the Switch magically captivated western audiences and somehow outsold the PS4 in a smaller timeframe big name western studios will still not support the Switch, it's hardware is too weak, developers want to make games with fancy graphics.
Nintendo will attract indie titles to the system, but all of them will be multiplat and this won't matter at all to most consumers.
Nintendo will spend the next 5 years scratching their heads not understanding where they are failing, Nintendo needs a western arm similar to it's Japanese arm, partially to pad out their own release cycles and partially to offer more variety in their video games. Nintendo of Japan needs to delicately vet key staff to ensure that these people will make games that compliment Nintendo's own releases and not just follow western trends, is such a thing even possible?

I never said it was a Nintendo thing, but it's more than likely coming to Switch, even then, Switch doesn't need it to be successful, it has far bigger IPs than that. Monster Hunter's main installments have now spent more time on Nintendo systems than any other.

The Switches success hinges entirely on Nintendo's competence and willingness to ride out a rough start. If they go all in and the Switch becomes their only piece of supported hardware it'll end up a lot like the 3ds with a slow start, but eventually selling between 50-60 million units which wouldn't even be close to Wii-tier success but much higher than any other home console they've released since the SNES. The only problem I foresee the Switch having is if Nintendo panics in the first year and decides the Switch is just a "home console with the added feature of portability" and they release a true handheld successor to the 3ds in which case the Switch becomes Wii U 2 electric boogaloo.
top kek.

They haven't even announced a MonHun for it yet.
MonHun is one of those games that would benefit from cross-play. I remember reading that they stick to one console because they want everyone playing the game to be able to play together. Then again implementing that is hard, and MonHun is a low-budget franchise.

Honestly I wonder if Capcom will keep Monster Hunter as a Nintendo exclusive

They cut it's price by $50 - $100, discontinue the 3DS, market it as a handheld and pretend it was always meant to be a repalcement for the 3DS.

The only other real possibility is this
sadly, the last few Monster Hunter releases on home console sold like shit in Japan and since Sony doesn't have a handheld and likely won't be making another it's probably either Nintendo or the series goes mobile.
