And since when are Mario Tennis and Yoshi, relevant titles?
If you check the latest FE sales, you'll see that it mainly sells software.
And if you compare both games, only the first one provided a small boost worldwide.

Splatoon 2, Zelda, MK8, Mario vs what exactly? Smash and probably Pokémon?

Then i spoke about Nintendo's ability to improve their output.
I think that what i presented speaks for itself. 
E3 is another story - as i'm only comparing the first 14 months (which is as far as Switch has gone).

How about Fire Emblem, which is already slated for this year (and will certainly get a nice chunk of the E3 presentation). And we don't know what else Nintendo will bring

Fire Emblem has generated a lot of buzz, but when you go and look at how it impacted sales of 3DS HW, the story is very different.

The first game gave 3DS a nice bump specially in Japan and worldwide… i think. But the second game only saw the same kind of impact in japan. In the US and Europe and US, the results were either decrease in sales for both markets or at least just for the US - can garante it HW sales decreased in Europe but i remember it did in the US.

Did it sell well? Yeah it did. But it hasn't had an impact in HW.

The titles i highlighted for Switch in 2017 were games that were really relevant (HW sellers). 2018 has only one system seller confirmed, so far. Pokémon might be confirmed and other might be revealed, but i can't use what isn't confirmed as terms of comparison.
