Yeah, the problem comes once we reach the second half, which was stacked with games last year and culminated in the system's first core Pokemon. 2020 will have its work cut out for it matching that.

Yeah i don't expect Mario Kart 9 until Switch 2 either.

I don't expect a price cut though, Nintendo seem really stubbornly committed to maintaining price. I also think BOTW2 will be next year, as mainline Zelda games are always delayed.

Indeed they will, and I really hope that game is BOTW2, but the team's long history of delaying games leaves me with little confidence they can deliver this year. As to what their big games will be, Nintendo's silence on the matter is becoming extremely annoying.

I certainly hope you're right. I'd love to be able to play BOTW2 this year.

Well, the holiday title would be tricky to guess.
BOTW2 or odyssey 2?
switch sports?
Nintendogs switch?
Pokemon sword/shield definitive(60$ with the 2 dlc included)?
zelpa TP/WW?
none wouldnt move as many consoles as pokemon did this 2019.

Yeah it's driving me absolutely crazy atm that we know nothing about Switch's lineup passed March 20th as far as significant games go. I hate it when Nintendo do this, I need something concrete to look forward to.

Not the holidays, but I'd like to know what I can expect to look forward to in April, May, June, July, August...

I'd mean so much for me atm to have a solid date for a game I'm excited for, to make the future not feel so dark.

I really hope so. While my recent good news has helped a lot, having cancer is still scary and makes the future feel so uncertain. Games are like my escape, my antidote to stress and anxiety, so a release date would give me a point in the future to look to with positivity instead of with dread. Anyway, sorry to get all angsty.

I meaannn, i kinda too was seeing 2020 being just a little bit up compared to 2019 but seeing how strong the momentum is already with 0 game and having the first full year of the Lite effect + Animal crossing bringing a new audience that the Switch didn't really dabble into much yet is going to be really strong. The Pokemon momentum will continue in 2020 as well since we have major DLC coming which will keep the game in the press the whole year. 

We will definitely see a price cut or a bundled game for 300$ this year with more aggressive deal, there is no way they won't lower the price at this point since yes they could still sell the console but the production cost probably is way lower now. So many people are just waiting for this cut tbh it would have a huge impact. And imo, the lineup this year looks already stronger for the first few months and i'm sure they have big titles for the end of the year. 

Depends on the price cut, the new model and the lineup but 21 million is the floor imo, i'm expecting 23 millions. There is multiple weeks the Switch can catch a big lead over last year and it will do great in the holidays no matter what.

I get the feeling Nintendo are gonna want to hang on to the $300 price point for as long as they can, didn't they say as much in a recent press thingie, or am I misremembering? Something about "increasing value in other ways" or something.
