Can one game still make a difference?

I don't think so. Nintendo has millions of hardcore fans that will but a system at launch irrespective of the library. The WiiU showed that. At the same time, Mario Kart 8 is on pace to outsell Breath of the Wild.

But, no, one game by itself cannot make a difference in this day and age on any platform.

Well I'd still strongly say that Pokémon was one of the biggest factors that allowed the 3DS to be quite successful in the time of smartphones. 

And Switch compared to Wii U launch month sales showed the exact opposite. Essepically when you look at the fact the Wii U launch library was actually one of biggest for any console.

Here are the first week sales for Switch, Wii U, Xbox One and PS4:

	Switch	Wii U	Xbox One	PS4
1	1,400,822	472,099	1,104,585	1,071,184

 Can you spot the difference?

Yeah, it tells me that the Switch is the only system out of those 4 listed to be released worldwide at the same time. And those PS4 sales are for NA only for the first day only, right?

And I don't agree with you about Pokemon driving 3DS sales especially since the 3DS peaked in its 1st full fiscal year, well before a Pokemon game was released.
