so zelda, mario, smash, kart, and splatoon are already out.  Any major hardware shifters left or will the presence of those and a price decrease keep things going up?

Core Pokemon, Animal Crossing, and Fire Emblem are all system sellers if past handhelds are anything to go by.  Hell Pokemon alone is a bigger system seller than any of Nintendo's other IPs if we are being completely honest.  Also while Bayonetta 3 is not a system seller overall, it will fill the void for a more mature exclusive and help flesh the library out of it drops this year (seeing how Prime 4 is delayed and all).

 

Overall the Switch should sell significantly more this year than last.

Pokemon main series is smaller than Super Mario 2d high budget, Tetris like games, Wii series-sports-games and Minecraft. The remainder, with the exception of GTA, is smaller. GTA needs to sell in five ecosystems to become one of the best-selling games on a high budget. The right pokemon game on the Switch can have sales between 18 and 25 million copies. Like GTA V in the best ecosystem.
