The system seems to be getting most of the big sellers a lot earlier then past Nintendo consoles so I expect it's sales to be more front loaded. It makes sense to produce this much.

It wont be more front loaded. It looks that way to yourself because of how the first year line up is. Which any1 at first glance would think. But there is much much more to it than that. 

 

Splat2

Zelda (3d)

Mario (2d)

 

Are the big system sellers here for the first year. MHXXMK8D are still ports despite being huge sellers. Its not MH5/MK9 and ARMS is a new ip. The other games are mid to smaller tier 

 

Still got pokemon (rumored STARS is still a port, not a new game) that can come out next year as well as SSB5/2D Mario/Animal Crossing/etc for the years 2018/2019. Including more (like a pokemon generation 8)

 

If anything this shows the much longer life of tge hardware. And with a possible Handheld only switch in 2 years, this wont be front loaded imo

I include year 2 in its early line up.
