The "Switch factor" is more of a global thing rather than Japan.

Yoshi, Kirby, Fire Emblem, Luigi's Mansion, Pokemon have all performed below 3DS entries.

In Japan, right? That would make sense as 3DS sold faster than Switch in Japan despite the opposite being true globally.

Yes, it's been games with more of a home console history (3D Zelda, Smash, 3D Mario, Splatoon, Xenoblade) that have shown big improvements in Japan.
