He's so clueless on this subject that he said Switch got most of its big guns in 2017. I mean... Zelda was never one of Nintendo's biggest franchises. It actually sold around 5m per entry, they have lots of games that usually do 10m+. Super Mario Odyssey is a 3D Mario, which is not as big as 2D Mario. Xenoblade Chronicles 2 is "niche", Fire Emblem Warriors and Pokkén Tournament are spin offs and Arms is a new franchise. Splatoon was also not among Nintendo's biggest franchises, but I can see it becoming one of them on Switch. The only thing you could say released last year that is one of Nintendo's biggest guns is Mario Kart 8 Deluxe, which is a port btw (meaning they could release another one in some years).

So there's still 2D Mario, Animal Crossing, Pokémon (at least 2 games), Super Smash Bros., and probably a new Mario Kart to come. Not to mention new stuff like Labo that can really take off like Wii Fit, for example.

we been over this again, and no i'm not clueless at all. the 4 big games released this year will outsell  the 4 games you mentioned easily, never mind that they hit the jackpot with zelda, and 3d mario. its also telling you only have 4 more franchises to list, basically nintendo released half its big franchises in one year. 

Are you seriously suggesting that each of these games:

Breath of the Wild
Super Mario Odyssey
Splatoon 2
Mario Kart 8 Deluxe

will sell more than EVERY ONE of these games? And not just sell more, but easily sell more?

2D Mario
Pokémon (!!!)
Animal Crossing
Super Smash Bros.

I mean, if you think that BotW, Odyssey, Splatoon 2, and MK8D are all going to sell over 16 million copies, then your entire viewpoint makes no sense at all. Huge software numbers would easily imply huge hardware sales as well.
