What are you talking about? lol Splatoon 2 is big but it's no Animal Crossing, Smash or Pokemon. Mario Kart is a port of a Wii U game that a lot of people already played but it sells because it's mario kart. 3D Mario never outsells Smash or Pokemon. Zelda is not a hardware pusher like Smash or Pokemon, or Animal Crossing. And none of them really stand a chance against a 2D Mario game done right. 

It doesn't matter which games will sell more in this case, its which ones have the potential to bring in new customers.

Most people didn't own a wiiu, and mario kart is selling like a new entry it will do 16-18 million ltd, splatoon 2 is looking like it will reach 10 million, 3d mario is always been very close to smash in sales, and mario odyssey is taking it to a new level in terms of sales will easily reach 18 millon, zelda is on its way to 10 million all these games in released in a 7 month window, 2 of which are the highest rated games in the past 10 years, attracting the hardcore gamer crowd in a big way. 

Okay...but we're talking about 2019 here. 2017 is done, 2018 is halfway over. The question is will PS4 outsell Switch in 2019, assuming it will in 2018. Evergreen titles will continue to push hardware, like on every console, that's not what's in question here. We're talking about new software that will push hardware to a greater extent the same way Monster Hunter World, did for PS4. I don't forsee PS having those kinds of games in 2019 because its coming to an end. But I could be wrong, that is why I said I'll need to wait until E3 to make a sound judgement. Yes, Mario and Zelda are selling well, but take a look back at Nintendo's consoles...3D Mario and Zelda are always outdone by Smash Brothers, Pokemon, 2D Mario, and on par with Animal Crossing. All of which have yet to release yet.

Naturally, 2019 will be around the halfway or third mark for Switch's life cycle and this is around the time it's supposed to perform exceptionally well.
