People are too fast claiming system sellers. I would reign that in a bit, at least for some of these games.
The Outer Worlds: All we know about it's sales is that it 'exceeded expectations', whatever that means. But it got a multiplatform release and is a late port on Switch. I doubt it's system seller abilities even if it sells well, for multiple reasons. It is a more core game, so the gamers most likely already own a console, either PS4, XB1 or Switch. If it is PS4 or XB1 they already bought it for that platform. If it is Switch, the game sells no Switch. Only few gamers will decide for Switch, after this game enters the library. The oners of Switches though may buy this game (myself included) so good sales are possible, just not much in driving the Switch-sales.
Pokemon Mystery Dungeon: This is a surprise as I looked up past sales it seems the best-selling past releases could close to five million. If the current entry sells in this ballpark this would be extremely cool. There is no Mystery Dungeon game (Pokemon or otherwise) on Switch so far (as far as I know). There are lot of other roguelikes on Switch, but Mystery Dungeon usually has a slightly different target group. So with multi-million sales and a customer group not yet covered, this could very well a smaller system seller.
Doom 64: This is on March 20th? I thought Doom Eternal? Either way. The ones who want to play Doom mobile, already came for Doom 2016 or for the original Doom 1+2. It probably sells great, but not to people still not owning a Switch.
Animal Crossing: Yeah, this without a doubt is a system-seller.
