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.

But then we would have people complaining that 2019 would have no killer apps.The same thing in 2020.Then 2021, etc.These games take time to make, so you gotta have a choice wether you are going to have a fantastical year(2017) or you are going to have good years.

Its pretty obvious why they went with the first strategy(having a fantastical year with 2017), since they really didnt have any other choice, but then 2018 suffered as a consequence.You cant have great year after great year without any kind of backlash.Games take time to make.

In 2019 you could have Monster Hunter, 2D Mario, and traditonal Pokemon. Boom, done. After that it wouldn't really matter as by the time a system is later in its life price cuts and revisions kick in to maintain sales.
