By the end of march switch will be up by 100k from last year. Switch did 3.3m last year even with odyssey and Zelda. Pokemon ain't coming this year so switch won't be doing 4.5m. I'd say between 3.5-4m this year

You can take off Zelda of your list. It's not among Nintendo's biggest franchises. The last Zelda that crossed a million in Japan was Ocarina of Time in 1998. This year it is expected to get Smash and Animal Crossing, which is far bigger in Japan than anything Switch got so far. We'll have to wait, but so far 4m looks like a safe bet for what people already mentioned.

How did Smash do in Japan for the Wii U compared with Splatoon, whose sequel also released on the Switch last year?
