"In 2007, after a huge holiday season, DS had a pretty quiet Q1 in terms of releases. Notable games: Wario: Master of Disguise, Picross DS, Hotel Dusk, Harvest Moon, Professor Layton, SimCity DS, Super Robot Wars W, Mojipittan, Digimon, Dragon Ball Z.

All of them sold well because of DS but weren't big titles to begin with. Layton sold 1m units but started with 150k units and it was a surprise hit. The bigger game was Yoshi's Island DS."

Now the only difference is the 2007 games were mostly knew vs ports this year but I still think we will see something similar. Basically hardware selling software where as last year it was the software selling the hardware. 4 big titles launched last year. Realistically all they need is 1 big title for the second half of 2018 and sales will stay high. Personally I think they will have 2.
