Why is the switch doing so well without big releases. Imagine what it'll be like when the heavy hitters start coming out this year.

Probably because there is a large number of games on the system which target the mass market (Smash, Splatoon, 2D Mario, Mario Party, Minecraft, even Breath of the Wild, which is more like classic Zelda). It is very reminiscent of the Wii and DS days when games would lift hardware sales months and even years after release due to word of mouth and the games being accepted by a larger audience. The same seems to happen with a bunch of Switch games right now. Super Mario Bros U Deluxe is the perfect example of this: Slow start but extremely steady sales.

Agree, at this point, Switch is selling great alone whithout any new release.
