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.

You are right about that. It is a series I've never paid attention to as it isn't for me. I hope fans of the series love the game. I know it will push hardware, I'm just saying with the popularity of it and the time of year the bump won't be huge at launch (but you never know I could be wrong). I see the game being a slow burner with strong legs. 

Oh honey i think you will be surprised about the amount of people waiting for this. Chrissy Teigen alone on Twitter will make publicity for the casual gamers lol. It's a crazy loved and popular franchise and i'm certain it will push a lot of consoles. I've never played it but will buy the switch game cause why not.
