This is not smooth sailing, there is Mario Kart, Splatoon, ARMS next week in the update we'll figure about. You're making it seems like there is nothing around the corner or already released, that is hardly ''hard facts''.

Mario Kart came out 8 weeks later. Splatoon and ARMS is not even out yet, a 3-4 month gap. So what competition are you talking about?

We're talking about being the #1 seller of the year, which includes all remaining week until 2018 starts. No matter when Zelda released, it does have competition with all those games. 1-2 Switch could have had been, and it's still selling at a steady rate. Zelda would have sold probably as much even though it had launch with 10 big AAA games. It's smooth sailing because it's Zelda, not because there isn't any game on the console.
