I think Switch's Monster Hunter XX will sell a lot better in the west than it did in Japan. Capcom released Monster Hunter X in Japan, and in the west (as Generations) for 3DS. After that they released Monster Hunter XX in Japan, which was an expanded 3DS version of X. The west never got XX though. So for Japanese gamers Switch's XX was just a graphically updated version of a game that they already bought and played to death on 3DS. For western audiences it's a graphically updated 3DS game with tons of new content over the old Generations game. Then we gotta remember that Monster Hunter really wasn't very well known among the semi-casual crowd in the west, until MHW fixed all that.
So MH has a new surge of popularity in the West thanks to MHW, and the game has tons of new content that western 3DS audiences never got to see. That = sales IMO.
Edit: Oh yeah, Switch has a really good lineup this year now! Fire Emblem, Animal Crossing (probably), Smash, Octopath, and MH.
