Pokemon+Smash Bros for this holiday will probably be win for Switch,
what maybe could prevent that is if PS4 again have huge price cut and Switch again dont have any deal or bundle for BF.

Were they were outselling everything over the holidays? |
Look better. Switch won the 3 last weeks of the year, but was beaten at least by the PS4 the 6 weeks before that. With a way bigger cumulative gap.
Between May and the 3 last weeks of December, the Switch won only 1 week... Well, actually, between the launch and the 3 last weeks of December, the Switch won only 2 weeks (launch week not included). The Switch never dominated anything WW.

Pretty much this.
Dude, it's Pokemon. When was the last time a big Pokemon RPG like this wasn't a huge success? If you look at the brand of Pokemon it doesn't really matter what the first impression is. |
Based on impressions i'm reading at resetera nobody seems impressed, or taking it as the next mainline RPG. So i don't know.

I expect a nice boost, 600k for the month it launches, then everything will be back to normal. keep in mind 3ds was much cheaper as well. |
600k for the month of November is a horrible prediction

Being an enhanced definitive edition of smash Wii u wouldn't hurt smash switch. A bandai Namco employee also said that they worked on a new engine for the game, so I doubt it will be a port
Hard to tell. After E3 we'll know more about both of these companies' holiday lineups. There're two things for sure, Nintendo will dominate in Japan and Sony in Europe.
Marth said: I think it depends a lot on the quality of Smash Bros and Pokemon. If they can pull another BotW/SMO situation then Switch will have an amazing holiday season. If the E3 presentation of the new Smash goes well then Nintendo is on a solid track. Then a few suprising and good character announcements in the coming months and they are good to go. |
If they pull another BotW/SMO, they will lose like last year. They need to do better, and even a lot better to "dominate" like the OP asked.

You can't get better than Botw/SMO in terms of quality, which is what the list was implying
