They released all their big franchises? I think you are fogetting about the 10+ million selling franchises like Pokemon, Smash Bros, 2D Mario & Animal Crossing or their 5+ million franchises like Tomodachi Life & Luigi's Mansion.

Nevermind all their 1-3 million selling games like Kirby, Metroid, Fire Emblem, Yoshi, Xenoblade, Paper Mario, Kid Icarus, Mario Party, 2D Zelda, Donkey Kong, Mario & Luigi, Pokemon Mystery Dungeon, Pikmin, Nintendogs, etc.

On top of that they have yet to bundle games, cut price or release revisions so Nintendo certainly has a shitload of things they can do to maintain momentum for the next few years.

i don't see anything touching this year for a few reasons. they released there next console and handheld, and nintendo home consoles typically sell best in there first year in the 3d era with exception being the wii. so that will give a nice boost over 3ds sales this year, then you have the highest rated zelda game since OOT, highest rated mario ever, mario kart, and splatton 2 which is a phenomena in japan, the majority of nintedo fans would have already picked up or wanna pick a switch  this year, but well see ill happily eat crow.

I get where you're coming from, Zelda+Mario Kart+Splatoon 2+3D Mario in a single year certainly is one hell of a lineup without even factoring the medium sized titles like ARMS, Pokken & Mario+Rabbids.

The problem I have with that line of thought is that theoretically PS4 should have peaked in 2014 considering  that by the end of 2014 it already had Call of Duty, Assassin Creed, FIFA, Madden, NBA, MLB, GTA, Battlefield, Destiny, Watch Dogs, Infamous, Killzone, Far Cry, MGS, Need for Speed, Last of Us, etc.

Like I said, Nintendo still had alot to offer for Switch in the coming years and using sales duds like N64, GC & Wii U to base your argument on isnt doing you any favors since Switch will easily outsell all 3 of them combined.
