I'm not too worried about the game's sales for several reasons. One is I fully expect there to be a 'Switch boost' like other franchises have got. So even if it doesn't match Prime 1, it should easily surpass any other game in the franchise, and Prime 1 isn't even that high of a bar to clear.

The other reason is that Nintendo's thinking on software has changed largely thanks to the troubles of the Wii U era. Part of the reason games like Bayonetta 2, Captain Toad, Hyrule Warriors, and Devils Third got made is because Nintendo learned the value of building up their library of games to make the system more appealing overall even if the games themselves were not expected to sell well. I don't think the Switch's success means they've forgotten the value these sorts of games give their systems over the long run.
