Yeah Monster Hunter week could be huge if they manage to actually produce and ship enough hardware to take full advantage of it; I think the numbers we get will show supply more than demand, but they could still be massive, the franchise has never been bigger and Rise offers its burgeoning fanbase a compelling reason to get a Switch.

@bold Agreed. World made a lot more people in the west fans of the series and I think many of those players, who otherwise were content with their platforms, are now considering or have purchased a Switch to be able to play this next game.

Exactly; while this is anecdotal I know several people who got into the series with World and are getting or have gotten Rise. World greatly expanded the franchise's fanbase outside Japan, and a significant portion of these new players won't have owned a Switch prior to Rise.
