Aside from Smash those are all B-tier games. Where were the new games on the level of last year's tentpole releases like Odyssey, BOTW, Xenoblade 2, Splatoon 2, Kingdom Battle?

DKTF is a four-year-old port and Kirby is hardly an A-tier affair. Is it really so much to ask that a successful new system have a steady flow of A-grade games?

You are talking about sales, correct? Why do Xenoblade & Mario Rabbids count as tentpoles but Kirby, Donkey Kong, Labo & Mario Tennis, Octopath dont count when they have sold a similar amount as those games?

Wasn't just talking about sales, but also quality. On the sales side though, stuff like Mario Tennis and old ports may bring in a few dollars, but it's not sustainable to rely on only these kind of games long term. If they want to reach 100 million, they're not going to get there on old ports and B-tier games alone, they'll need to start putting out a steady tempo of NEW big games again, stuff on the level of Splatoon, Odyssey, BOTW, etc.
