Alrighty, how about for March-May?

Once June hits Switch has Mario Maker 2 to give it a boost but til then it only has the kind of games you describe, stuff like Yoshi, Mortal Kombat 11, Team Sonic Racing, and Hellblade, which will likely sell to the established base rather than inducing hardware purchases.

January

Ace Combat 7

Resident Evil 2 Remake

Kingdom Hearts 7

 

February

Metro Exodus

Far Cry: New Dawn

Anthem

 

March

Devil May Cry 5

The Division 2

Sekiro: Shadows Die Twice

 

April

Mortal Kombat 11

Days Gone

 

May

Rage 2

 

If those Jan/Feb titles didnt move hardware than I dont think the March-May titles will either. They will perform well but mostly to the existing audience.

Hmmm, you're probably right. March does look pretty strong though with both Sekiro and DMC5 versus pretty much just Yoshi for the Switch. I'll be pleasantly impressed if Switch remains ahead for March NPD. April and May should be Switch wins, unless its momentum starts to stall from going so long without a system seller.
