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.

Yeah that's how I see it as well with the higher resources required for development I think the days of games releasing in short bursts are over, imo Nintendo would rather 1 high selling title that clocks in at 25-30m who they can then sell dlc and an expansion to than 2 separate instalments, S/M moved 14m in 3 or so months so 15m in the first quarter for the Switch game is very doable.
