I think the release schedule to hit this would have to be something along the lines of

May - ARMS
June - Nada
July - Splatoon 2
August - Super Smash Bros. Deluxe
September - Nada
October - Retro Game?
November - Super Mario Odyessy + price cut to $249.99
December - Pokemon Stars
January - Nada
February - Xenoblade 2
(early) March - Animal Crossing + New Switch Model

With Monster Hunter Switch and Dragon Quest XI also factoring in there somewhere.

I don't think it's really related to games. Even Pokemon doesn't double sales, and even if it did that would mean they just learned about a new Pokemon releasing in the next few weeks (you can't double the year sales with a end of the year release). It doesn't seem realistic at all.  

 

I think it's more related to "Our launch is close or even  better than the PS4 launch in several countries so we can achieve PS4 level sales numbers". And that thinking is wrong (or at least it's way too soon for that), because a great launch was easily expected, but the rest of the year will be more complicated. 

Idont think thats so simple and Nintendo thinking just "we having better PS4 launch", they probably also seeing huge demand for Switch on market and that demand will be bigger with MK8 Deluxe, Splatoon 2, Fire Emblem Warriors, Mario Odyssey, possible new Pokemon...
