Splatoon 2 alone has the chance to push 2022 sales above 2021 in Japan, if it will be released in spring/summer.

If we really see a new Mario Kart for Switch this or next year, I can see Switch outselling PS2/DS.

Agree about MK9, simply because if they actually do release another MK for the Switch I think that'd be a pretty clear signal that a successor system isn't coming out until 2025 at the earliest. They're not gonna release a game in their ultimate evergreen series with only a year or two left in the system's life. If they plan on keeping the Switch going until Spring or Holiday 2025 it would make sense to just put out MK9 on Switch soon (ideally this year) instead of waiting for the successor's launch in 3+ years. And if Switch stays Nintendo's primary system until 2025 I think it has a very good chance to pass PS2.

I disagree.

They can easily double dip consumers with MK9 on Switch and Switch 2. MK8 double dipped and it was 3 years apart. Breath of the Wild double dipped of course with the same day launch. So whether it be within a year or 2 of launch, I think they would release it for both systems.
