I think Nintendo Switch won't blow anyone away in EU and US this holiday in terms of sales without it. I believe some people will be surprised that Switch does kind of average if it goes into this holiday with just Mario as it's only seller.

Of course, average would be multiple times bigger than Wii U ever did, and it's still only year one, so it's all good overall. But if Switch doesn't get Pokemon, it's chances of a 1m+ November and December NPD are slim

It doesnt work like that. People that will be buying Switch in holiday season won't be buying Switch just because of Mario Odyssey, but because Mario Odyssey and Zelda BotW, MK8D, Splatoon 2, ARMS, Fire Emblem Warriors, Monster Hunter...and some other games.

Also you need to consider that even now with only Zelda BotW and MK8D that are out, people can't get Switch because stock situation, and when more games are out (ARMS, Splatoon2, Fire Emblem Warriors, Monster Hunter, Mario Odyssey..) demand for Switch will be just stronger, espacily in holiday season. So real question is if Nintendo will have enuf stocks and regular availability for holiday season.

Bad example. Kingdom Hearts 3 and FF7R are both made by Square Enix, which had to delay FFXY for more than 10 years. This says nothing about PS4, but rather development problems at SE. Shenmue III also has been in development hell for 10 years due to commercial failures of the prequels. 

Nintendo is the one who decided to announce games that are barely in development. Atlus and Suda51 were INVITED to announce their non-existing game. The games you mentioned were not announced by Sony, but by the developer itself. 

they were announced at Sony's E3 conference just like those 3rd party Switch games were announced at their event.

its literally the same situation so you are using double standards here.

Basically, he trying to downplay Nintendo while in same time ignoring fact that 3rd party (or Sony itself) doing same thing on Sony conferences.
