Another ace in the sleeve is Animal Crossing releasing at the very end of the fiscal year which should provide a significant hardware boost to launch date. I think we might see another Lite SKU releasing.

Switch Lite Animal Crossing Edition would sell a fair amount. The series is popular, but isn't on the level of Pokemon, Mario or Zelda. 

To be fair, how many franchises are on the level of Mario and Pokemon? Clearly it's not going to sell on the level of a mainline Pokemon or 2D Mario and that's no shame. 

But I do feel you are underestimating the impact of a brand new Animal Crossing - It's a series with three entries surpassing 10M in sales, nothing neither 3D Mario nor Zelda has managed. It's a franchise with the same sales potential as both 3D Mario or Zelda has. I'm not sure saying it would sell a fair amount is doing it justice :P

It's a major game and will push hardware.
