Too bad PS2 and DS are missing, would have been nice to see how the Switch compares to them

I said what I said

If Splatoon 3 moved this much hardware despite Splatoon 2 being on the hardware and so many feeling they were too similar, then Scarlet/Violet as the first open world Pokemon game should see the Switch selling out yet again.

Especially with the Pokémon OLED special edition.

I was trying to tell you before, nsw is different from other consoles because of how many unique owners there are and how many would upgrade. Nsw OG is 18mil and lite that imo people bought and then upgraded to the OG nsw is at 5mil. Splatoon 2 userbase is all on the OG and pokemon to an extent. But at least this will be a huge upgrade with the LE coming out and pokemon first oled.

TotK will be the same next year too. Sequels will help out the original 10mil or so owners of 2017-2019 to upgrade. So far Oled is outpacing Lite now aligned.

Yeah but also it's the 5th Pokemon game on the system, and 3rd Pokemon game in 12 months (which is insane). First fully open world is a big deal. Though with Arceus being partially open world earlier this year I feel like that also takes a little bit out of the open world hype. Anyway, it'll be interesting if the 5th Pokemon game, and 3rd pokemon game in 12 months, can move a bunch of HW. I'm expecting a decent hardware bump but not nearly as big a bump as Splatoon 3.

It helps pokemon releases right before the holidays so the bump will most certainly make a difference and pokemon has a oled model releasing 2 weeks before the game. 2022 could beat 2021 holiday despite oled launching last year 

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
