Looks like we can expect 150k+ next week ^^
But it will clearly lose the battle against last year's big Q1 title Monster Hunter Rise, which sold 267k.

Arceus is already the 4th big Pokemon game and many who wanted a Switch for Pokemon should already have it.

Well, that depends on how you look at Arceus.  It's been marketed as being very different from the mainline Pokemons (even though it isn't actually the true open world game that some were hoping when it was originally announced).  That could spark interest from people who didn't have any interest in the other Pokemon games, but might have been enticed to give this one a shot.
