Most, but for some people maybe they only need one huge free to play game on Switch before they jump on Switch wagon, Fortnite will definatly have some impact on Switch sales, we will see how much exatly. Well we disagree, we can only wait and see, dont forget, Nintendo shipped 2.9m Switch units in January-March period that had only few releases, in both April-June and July-September periods Switch has much stronger line up than it had in January-March, also for instance in last year April-June period Nintendo shiped 2m Switch units, for same period of this year we probably talking at least 2.5m but probably around 3m so we talking about higher sales not just about keeping momentum.
Also you forgetting that Switch last year had huge stock problems from April to September, so Switch could have easily stronger sales in any case, especially because actually has quite solid lineup from May.

Last year from April-June Switch was still a hot new product driven by the earth-shattering arrival of BOTW; this year it's no longer the latest thing and hasn't recently gotten a killer app. But yeah, we'll have to wait and see. It will skyrocket in November, but between now and then I expect sales to be meh.

Agree with you 100% on the bolded, Mario kart 8 deluxe, and splatoon in japan were pretty huge as well.

Yes but in that time there were huge stock problems for Switch and Switch could sell more last year in that time period, that why Nintendo shiped 2m units last year for that time period, while in January-March period of this year shipped almost 3m, so in this years April-June period Nintendo will easily ship at least 2.5m and probably around 3m (so higher than in same time period of last year). So beacuse stock problems of alst year, Switch can easily and probably will have stronger sales for April-September period compared to last year, and offourse October-December period of this year will definatly be stronger with Pokemon+Smash+Mario Party than it was last year.
