Your numbers for FY2016-2017 are wrong it seems from Nintendo themselves:
Q1 2016-2017 - 940k
https://www.perfectly-nintendo.com/nintendo-financial-results-1st-quarter-2016-17-april-june/
Q2 - 1.7m
https://gonintendo.com/stories/267425-nintendo-s-fy-2016-q2-earnings-full-details
Q3 - From earlier article 6.45m
From these 3 reports we already get a total of 9.09m that is not only an increase over the prior year but the year you touted with ORAS this further proves that such games can have such an impact, I can't find Q4 numbers anywhere for some reason for a full comparison but it seems S/M pushed the 3DS closer to X/Y than ORAS this counters your whole point and this was during the Switch transition as well.
