1. True, but doubting that the first installments of two seperate 10+ million, proven system selling franchises releasing early on in a systems life will sell consoles is kind of niave.

2. Dominate is an exaggeration but the poll doesnt give options for small victories, Micosoft winning isnt happening and Nintendo/Sony both think Switch wins based on shipment forcasts.

3. Yes, and your point? That type of argument made sense pre-launch, not so much now when its one of the fastest selling Nintendo devices despite the $300 price tag.

Right, because dominate is a strong word I would have expected a majority to say "not sure". It's one thing to think X will come out on top and it's another to say X will dominate. There are far too many question marks to have any reasonable expectation  of console dominance at this point.

At launch you have all the Nintendo die-hards buying the system. Not the same thing at all as expecting someone who wasn't hooked by MK8D, BOTW, Splatoon, and Odyssey to drop $300 over the holidays.

What im saying is people most likely voted for who they think will win rather than dominate.

I think people need to stop pretending "die-hards" leads to strong initial sales, they didnt stop 3DS & Wii U from doing very poorly in the beginning.

Smash/Pokemon/Fire Emblem and whatever else releases this Fall are not the same franchises/genres as what released last year and have their own fanbases (of course there is some overlap) so your last sentance is just grasping at straws.
