AC is indeed huge, but that's literally their only big game for the whole year as of now. Insiders suggest BOTW2 is a 2021 game, Prime 4 is still hiring people and probably won't come out til 2022-2023. It's a very bleak outlook at the moment, and Nintendo's history of prematurely abandoning their consoles makes me nervous.

I am hoping for a new 3D Mario game. Whether we are talking Mario Odyssey 2 or something else. My dream game would be a full remake of Mario 64, but I know that is VERY unlikely. 

The 3D Mario team will have had 3 years since Odyssey this year, which is usually how long it takes them to make a game, so that's actually not too far fetched, assuming Nintendo's not jumping ship to a successor and leaving Switch out to dry. Personally I'd most love to see Mario Galaxy 3 for Switch.

Switch vs 3DS in Japan – VGChartz Gap Charts – January 2020

Switch Vs. 3DS Japan:

Gap change in latest month: 309,063 – 3DS

Gap change over last 12 months: 354,932 – 3DS

Total Lead: 2,873,744 – 3DS

Switch Total Sales: 12,027,627

3DS Total Sales: 14,901,371

January 2019 is the 35th month that the Nintendo Switch has been available for in Japan. During the latest month the Switch closed the gap to the 3DS by 309,063 units. In the last 12 months, the 3DS has outsold the Switch by 354,932 units. The 3DS is currently ahead of the Switch by 2.87 million units.

The 3DS launched in February 2011 (however, 3DS sales have been aligned to March 2011, since it only launched at the end of February in Japan) and the Nintendo Switch launched worldwide in March 2017. The Switch in its first 35 months has sold 12.03 million units, while the 3DS sold 14.90 million units.

The 3DS has sold 24.59 million units lifetime in Japan through December 2019. The Switch is currently 12.56 million units behind the lifetime sales of the 3DS.

There is a typo, it says that 3DS furthered its lead in Jan but later on say Switch closed the gap in Jan.

Honestly, it could be its own thread. Interesting sections for me : 

Due to the ageing console cycle, sales of games machines are down 15.8% in January compared to the same period a year before, with revenue down 13.1%. The only console to sell better in January 2020 vs 2019 was Nintendo Switch (up more than 17%). Switch accounted for almost 52% of all consoles sold across the retail markets, with the Neon version the most popular individual product.

50% of all tracked games sold last month were on PS4, followed by PC (18.8%), then Switch (16.3%) and finally Xbox One (11.9%). Again, Switch's position may well have been higher if Nintendo supplied its digital data. In terms of boxed games alone, PS4 still comes out top with a 47.3% share, Switch is second with a 32.9% share, with Xbox following at 25.1%. It's worth noting that Game Pass data (the subscription service that is popular on Xbox) isn't included in these figures.

360 storming ahead of both PS4 and Xbone as the Kinect boost takes effect. It might be a long time before any system outsells 360's total in the US.

Switch during 2025.

That would be awesome. Hopefully its peak is merely delayed by this year's unfortunate shitfuckery instead of suppressed.
