you don't seem to understand my point, its not wrong to assume that if mario kart 8 , and zelda wasn't out already, mario odyssia  would be selling much  better, smash is coming out with most of the major nintendo franchises out, it gonna hurt it a bit. I'm not saying  people that are interested in smash are not gonna buy it, but parents buying it as gift have many choices.

It is wrong to think that because if Mario Kart & Zelda weren't out than Switch would have sold significantly less than it has so Mario Odyssey would have been affected as well.

Big games in different genres help diversify a library and push hardware sales, these games do not compete with each other, they complement each other.

you make some good points, but i'm just looking at thing based off some of history of the wii, like mario galaxy 2, and zelda skyward has significantly less sales then there predecessors despite then having 5-7x bigger user base. if a mario odyssia and zelda sequels come out, they won't touch there predecessors.
