Depending on what you buy, at most 128+ games. But considering you want AAA titles, at least 20-25.
Edit: The low estimate is based on the assumption you are going all digital.
Depends on the size of the games which is small compare to some on other consoles. Let's say Fortnite for example being about 40+GB on XBO and PS4, but luckily it's small on Switch being about 12GB. I've filled up my card of 128GB with indies/AAA games with around 40+ games.
I don't recommend going all digital on the Switch at this time. Unless you are okay with deleting games when you are finished with them. Even with the 128 GB card, you will most likely run out of space eventually if you are buying AAA games. NBA 2K19, for instance, is 31.5 GB digitally. Wolfenstein 2 is near 22 GB. So you wouldn't run out immediately, but as more games release requiring more storage you would eventually run out.
If you go mostly physical, as I do, I think 128 GB is plenty. It's what I have in mine. There's still a chance of running out of space eventually due to more and more games requiring extra space, even as physical copies, but it isn't likely you'd run out any time soon and then of course you could just delete games you haven't played in a while to clear space.
I have a 128gb in my Switch and at the moment it's plenty of space. I only have on it the games I'm currently playing and the ones I go back to, such as Splatoon and Mario Kart. I've got BoTW, Xenoblade 2 and loads more on it.
But again, the amount you get on it will depend on the size of the games your downloading
First-party Nintendo games tend to be under 6GB with few exceptions. AAA third-party games can be in excess of 20GB.
If you plan on only buying digital versions of games, 128GB will probably last you a year if you are frugal and stick to only buying a few big name releases, but I cannot imagine that it will last very long.
If you intend to mainly buy physical games, with your 128GB reserved for only the occasional eShop exclusive and update data, then it should last you a good long while.
"Gee, that's really persuasive. Do you have any actual points to make other than to essentially say 'me Tarzan, physical bad, digital good'?"
