I don't have a Switch yet, but I'd say with a killer Zelda game and an ambitious 3D Mario the Switch's first year wins against pretty much everything by default.

I'd personally pick Twilight Princess and Galaxy over BotW and Odyssey.  But that's just me.  Let's take a look at the games available for before calling a person crazy.  Just Nintendo published games:

Wii:

1. Twilight Princess
2. Wii Sports
3. Mario Galaxy
4. Super Paper Mario
5. Metroid Prime 4
6. WarioWare: Smooth Moves
7. Mario Strikers Charged
8. Mario Party 8
9. Wii Play
10. Donkey Kong Barrel Blast
11. Big Brain Academy
12. Pokémon Battle Revolution

If someone wants to say that's better than the Switch's first year, I can't really argue with them.  It's close enough to be a matter of taste.

Oh certainly the Wii had a great first year as well. Twilight Princess and Mario Galaxy earned their places amongst my favorites. I played a ton of Mario Party 8 with my cousin and Wii Sports got me excited for a whole new generation.

Haven't played Odyssey yet for obvious reasons, so I don't know if it would beat Galaxy for me yet. Breath of the Wild was even better than Twilight Princess for me, and if Odyssey is better than Galaxy, Switch would have a better start in my opinion. If it's not, they're about equal.
