Well to be fair there is no guarantee that Animal crossing will sell great on the Switch. So honesstly yeah quite a few of them will come close maybe even surpass animal crossing. It sold amazing on DS and 3DS. About the same and even less than those PS4 games on the Wii and even less on GC and Wii U. So why would you feel that none of those games could come close to it?

Pokemon is another monster all together and I agree that will explode in sales!  One thing is for certain though....after this year the PS4 will definitely decline but it is not for certain if the Switch will surge.....even though I sooooooooooooo hope that it does.

According to Nintendo: https://www.nintendo.co.jp/ir/en/finance/software/3ds.html New Leaf sold close to 11 million at the end of March (It has passed it by now) and is closing in on Wild World and could reach 12 million. If we're talking strictly PS4, I doubt the PS4 version of RDR2 will outsell AC: Switch by itself, combined with all the other verisons yes, but we're talking about PS4 specifically. God of War? Nope. Spiderman? Nope. Gran Turismo? It's got a chance. Gran Tursimo 4 sold 11.66 on the PS2 when it came out in the middle of the PS2's life cycle. I would expect Sport to sell around that number. Last of Us? Perhaps.
I'll admit, I went a little overboard when I said it wouldn't come close to Animal Crossing, but it's certainly not going to be a walk in the park.
And the Switch will see a jump. The system that it could be compared to is the 3DS, which jumped 1 million from launch year to peak year, but the Switch doesn't have any of the problems the 3DS had that is holding it back. (3D effect, overpricing, weak launch) and I don't think it will experience the software droughts that plagued the 3DS and Wii U. So I think the future looks very bright for the Switch.

At the bolded those are the two the DS one and 3DS one that sold AMAZING lol. But none of the others did. The next closest one was the Wii and that was at like 5 mil maybe less. That's why I said why would none of those games be able to sell close to Animal Crossing? Are yous aying it is guranteed that a New Animal crossing will sell 11-12 million? Because if not then yes A LOT of those mentioned games have a shot at not only coming close to Switch numbers but surpassing them.

Just using VGC numbers for instance and 6 Animal crossing games the average is about 5.6 million. So yeah almost all of those games have a very good shot at that. Now as far as the Switch goes again it does not have any of the issues the 3DS has but of course it has some challenges to face. Every system does.....that's why I want to wait and see how it does July/August if stock and demand has caught up to get a better idea of the level of Switch sales. I truly hope it keep selling amazingly well. I plan on getting mine this fall if there is a good bundle and if not DEFINITELY when the New Pokemon game comes out!
