Again, to be expected for launch. What's going to be interesting is seeing how it does in the following months. If Square Enix somehow gets the Switch version of Dragon Quest XI out in May...Switch is going to do surprisingly well in Japan for the rest of the year I'd imagine due to the holiday.

You shoudlnt expect too much from DQ XI on Switch, its on 2 other différent platforms far more popular, itll have a week impact but not à Big long term impact 

 

After launch, some ports will help but not that much , port doesnt have thé same impact than à new game, same for Splatoon which wont have thé same impact than thé first One, thé only  Big One After launch to really change things is Mario , this game will bé the most important, thé One that will décide Switch fate. ( Éven though i highly doubt itll do really much more than WiiU in 3 years of life)

I need to remind you that the Switch is also portable, a type of product that resonates much better with the market, not to mention that the latest Dragon quests has been on Nintendo consoles(for the past 4 or 5 years), so the audience on the Nintendo system should be way higher.

Dragon Quest impact should be much bigger on Switch than you think.
