I dont think thats a case but point that people know that every handheld (or in this case hybrid) has several Pokemon games, so Switch also will not have only only Pokemon release and that will effect on sales, its not like we will have just one Pokemon game that will sell hole Switch life cycle. So hardly that we will have one Pokemon game that will sell 30m+.

The's a big difference here though as the hardware is not strictly portable based only we could have one title that receives DLC packs and expansions which I could see possibly happening, he's right in that Pokemon has a massive potential boost as we all underestimated the effect such a jump would have on MH and that outsold every other title with ease.

To give an example they could just have one game (two version approach) with an initial season pass then rather than make another title they would make expansion like DLC for a second season pass, it would make sense as development even though the platform is a hybrid is now console level so multiple titles like before are likely to not be as common in a gen like before.

Exactly, and even if they were to put another game "soon" after the first, I believe it would take at least 3 years. People aren't going to accept slightly different versions because this isn't a limited handheld anymore.

Let's just remember Odyssey shiped 9m in 2 months on a smaller user base.. My 15m first 2 or 3 months for Pokémon isn't that farfetched.

At the same time I think people are overestimating Metroid a bit. Saying it definitely will do more than 3m is something that surprised me. I'm not saying it won't, just that it's a mid-tier seller that still has to prove itselft. 

Animal Crossing on the other hand I can see it happening simply because the series is already big and can benefit from an HD and mostly, heavy online interactions, jump.
