4 million just in Japan? That really IS bold! But I like your optimism.

Without a big system seller like Pokemon Stars, Yokai Watch, Animal Crossing, etc. I'm not sure this has a chance of coming true, though. Fire Emblem would help, but the Switch exclusive isn't due until 2018 and Dragon Quest isn't exclusive to Switch, either, if I recall.

Maybe there will be a few big exclusives announced at E3? Doubtful, but I'll be interested to see if you're right! I'd love it if Switch hits 4mil in Japan this year. If Nintendo can keep up with demand, at least.

You dont think Zelda, Mario Kart, Splatoon, 3D Mario & Dragon Quest are big system sellers?

Absolutely, I would. But 4 million sounds like a lot without a more Japan-centric title. All of the ones you mentioned will be big, no doubt. It just seemed (with my limited amount of knowledge) like 4 million was a very ambitious prediction without Pokemon. But Switch hype is chugging along full-strength right now, so I would love to be proven wrong!
