They still have quite a few guns left to fire; Animal Crossing, traditional Pokemon, 2D Mario, pay off Capcom for an exclusive Monster Hunter, etc.

Yes, but you still cut more than half that list if you are gonna nitpick what you define as an killer app.It wouldnt be a problem given this is just fun speculation if you didnt complain about Nintendo "mishandling" software releases.I mean, by your definition of killer apps, you could probably count in one hand the number of IPs that Nintendo has left that could be considered as such and you expect them to have one every 3 or 4 months?

Certainly there are titles, considered to be killer apps,that move more and some that move less, but if Super Mario Party is a return to form, and considering its past numbers, that is one potential hardware mover if I ever saw one.

Just having Animal Crossing in the first half of this year and having Smash in September alongside the online service would've made a big difference, then you could've had three killer apps this year spaced a few months apart just like last year.

20 million would've been a breeze then.
