I mostly agree with you, because Splatoon 3 is seen as an improvement over Splatoon 2.  Scarlet/Violet will also very likely be seen as an improvement over Sw/Sh and will stimulate a lot of Switch hardware sales.

However, I don't think TotK will have the same story.  BotW is already an amazing game, and TotK looks like a downgrade based on what we've seen so far.  I think it will likely do well on the opening week, but over the long haul it will have poor legs and the legs of BotW will keep going.

Nah, you have to see what Nintendo is doing with TotK first. And that is being a secret. You can't take the 3 trailers at face when its obvious (at least to me), they are hiding the game and what is really is about. What they shown off is absolutely nothing. Wait until they ramp it up come 2023.

That said, botw even more so was bought by the earliest adapters. Also I'm predicting ToTK to do near 5mil lifetime in japan

Well you are predicting 5m in Japan, and you've seen very little as well.

However, with BotW they weren't hiding anything.  They showed hours of gameplay footage at E3 2016.  Also, this game's title is not remotely linked to BotW's title.  A casual player would not know this is a sequel to BotW.
