Without RDR2 and 90% of other multiplatform games? I seriously don't see what Nintendo could do till the new Pokemon game to not let the hype to die out. Wii and DS created a completely new target audience. That's not the case with the Switch.

Animal Crossing (New Leaf outsold X/Y in Japan). Fire Emblem. Smash Bros. 4 Deluxe. Kirby. Yoshi. Whatever other smaller scale 1st party titles they come out with. Any additional 3rd party games (Dragon Quest XI, Project Octopath Travler, just to name a few) that come over to Switch along with the many ones they have now. 

And part of what sold people on the Wii and DS was the tech/ hardware at the time. The Switch, while the concept isn't new, the execution is the best it has been and the sales reflect that. 

At this particular stage, the hardware is selling itself, all Nintendo has to do is keep the steady stream of 1st party titles and 3rd party titles flowing and they won't even need Pokemon for a long while.

Yoshi, Kirby, Fire emblem. Yeah compare games that will be lucky to hit 2 million to RDR2 which will sell 10-15 million on the PS4 alone. The line-up is too japanese for the avarage gamer and even then PS4 will have the biggest japanese games next year (Kingdom Hearts III and MH:World). A casual will not get wet for ''Project Octopath Traveler'' (that name lol).
