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.

Just want to say, they took a risk with having 2017 be so front loaded, and it worked. They are strongly up from last year, and will only increase their lead. It isn't uncommon for a console to have new game shortages in the first year and to get better in the second year, but the switch is just the opposite. It isn't new. 2019 is already better, so just tough it out for a  few more months.
