Ah yes, the old "released all the big guns argument" that has been made every single year.

You mention how they need to announce something big this year while ignoring the fact that 3D World+Bowser's Fury is releasing next week which is a gauranteed 5+ million seller with potential to do over 10 million.

Then next month is Monster Hunter Rise (not 1st party but a major exclusive). MH4 & MHX each did over 4 million on 3DS so with the Switch affect+World making the series huge in the West, Rise should easily pass 5 million with potential to do 10 million as well.

On top of that we have seen over the last few years that Nintendo is more than willing to announce games just a few months before launch so the whole, "they have nothing scheduled" argument is tired and nonsense at this point.

Replace "gauranteed 5+ million" with 10 million and "potential to do over 10 million" with 15 million for both games and you are good.

I can definitely see that, but even the more conservative estimates still throw his concerns about lack of big games out the window.
