Of those though, Kirby, Yoshi, and Fire Emblem are the only ones with significant selling power, and even then they're not really killer apps. They're nice to have for those who already own a Switch, but they won't push droves of new customers to buy a Switch.

I wouldn't count out Dragon Quest XI or Bayonetta 1+2 that fast. Bayonetta is doing quite well already on amazon and will certainly push the console quite a bit in the west at least, while DQ XI will probably be preferred on Switch than on the 3DS in the west since the latter is a dying platform now.

I actually believe there's a great chance for the Switch being best-selling platform for the first Bayonetta. So basically 10 years after it's release, it found it's platform, too.

The Bayonetta IP, for all its critical and fan adoration, has never been a significant system seller, and Bayo 1 & 2 aren't even new games. 

As for Dragon Quest, that's a Japan-centric franchise, and surely just about everyone who'd buy a system for it there would've already got it on 3DS or PS4?
