It won't when we take a look at both of their performance so far in the second year which is 2008 for the Wii and 2018 for the Switch. In the first quarter of the second year the Wii was able to sell 4.3M units while the Switch is on track to sell ~3M units according to VGC estimates but in the year before their respective years the Switch still wasn't able to beat the Wii in it's first year either and on top of that supply normalized far faster for the Switch than it did for the Wii. Wii's first quarter in it's second year wasn't the strongest outside of the last quarter, that belonged to the second quarter and it's third quarter wasn't all that far behind either in comparison to the rest while it's doubtful that the Switch will maintain a relatively similar momentum with it's lineup throughout the year ... 

To add insult to the injury, the remaining region with the most amount of outstanding supply issues for the Switch isn't as strong as it's predecessor either. Moreover, price cuts, major hardware revisions and multiple ownership (we can rule this out since most of Switch's owners are older males so it's not a "family" system at all) will not be as prevalent either ... 

Labo's pre-order numbers are mediocre so this title is probably not what Nintendo is looking for outside of their staple franchises to push the Switch ...
