So...

Yoshi - Feb/Mar

Fire Emblem - Apr/May

Luigi's Mansion 3 - Jun/Jul

Animal Crossing - Aug/Sep

Pokemon - Oct/Nov

And probably no Metroid Prime 4 and Bayonetta 3 in 2019 (but maybe one of those games arrive in December).

Am i right?

The big things for 2019 are clearly Animal Crossing and Pokemon. Animal Crossing is a franchise that can go 10M - on handhelds, much less on console. As Switch is a hybrid it should sell well. Pokemon is a franchise that recently got 15M. I expect it to sell similar numbers on Switch.

The wildcard for me is NSMBUD. The first two NSMB sold nearly 30M, then franchise fatigue set in. NSMBU sold 5.5M. But Switch-ports of WiiU-software usually do better than on WiiU. So more is possible. Maybe also around 10M? Maybe NSMBUD is a rreason for the lofty 20M goal for the financial year, they expect it to sell more Switches?

If you add Sun/Moon + Ultra Sun/Ultra Moon it is more like 24m and it's still selling.  I wouldn't be surprised if this new Pokemon game sold like that.
