Splatoon 2 might sell 10 millions but it doesnt mean its a system seller. Its a new franchise and yes people buy it cuz its fresh and original and mainly cause its the only game from Nintendo like this, but im sure there is not much people outside of japan that bought a switch for this game.

splatoon is a huge system seller in japan so its a system seller. keep in mind when pokemon came out on 3ds its first holiday 2013 was worse then its past 2 holidays in terms of sales.

Splatoon isn't what Pokemon, animal crossing and 2D Mario are in japan, still. Also, it's not pokemon's fault for the down sales in 2013, it would have been worse without pokemon. Let's not pretend the release of a pokemon game will actually remove potential consumers for your products, that's just silly.

3DS had trouble selling and it got a pricecut in 2011 and lots of games in 2012. A pricecut can only drive you so far. Switch doesn't have any trouble to sell on it's own and it pokemon can clearly drive a lot of sales especially in Japan where the sales could be a lot better.
