We did not have so much visibility as well in January 2019 before the February direct, and then E3 added a massive load to the line up.

EDIT: sorry I have edited my table, I had forgotten the last week, so it is even more visible what I was saying about the ratio increase. And this, with no game at all since the two last Pokemon, there have been nothing for 2 months and sales keep being healthy.

As for Holiday 2020 I don't see a new Pokemon game with the Sword / Shield Expansion Pass. BotW2 or new 3D Mario game seem to be the most likely for the big Holiday 2020 title. 

There is no way to know what specific games are coming out this year until the next Direct from Nintendo.  One thing we can say is that Nintendo will keep putting out first party games at roughly the same rate that they have been.

People keep wondering why the Switch is selling so well and ask how long can it last.  After all Nintendo systems never sell this well right?  Well this is the first time in decades when Nintendo could put all of their first party resources on one system instead of splitting them up between home and handheld systems.  Perhaps it would be more informative to look at the NES?  After all that is the only other time Nintendo could devote all of their resources to one system.  It also just happened to be the most dominant console in gaming history.
