schuelma said: Obviously Splatoon 2 is going to be huge- that's a given- I think what I'm most curious about is the impact on software, both already released (BoTW, MK8, ARMS) and what will be out soonish (MH XX, Pokken, FE Warriors). Is the surge of new switch owners (presumably higher hardware sales starting next week) going to have a positive impact on catalog titles and upcoming releases? Or is Switch going to solely be a Splatoon 2 machine until the end of the year and drown out everything else? Click to expand...

I think Splatoon 2's release can only help other titles at this point.MK8D releasing didn't stop Zelda from selling, just like Arms releasing didn't stop MK8D from selling, etc. I think they're all different enough that they'll maintain their sales momentum, if not benefit from the increased hardware sales.As for upcoming titles, they have their own appeal as well. MHXX is the first MH on the system and has a bundle, so it'll do decent enough. Pokken will probably do similar to the original game, if not better. Fire Emblem Warriors will be the first major single player experience since Zelda, and I think it'll do similar to Hyrule Warriors (maybe better considering it's on a superior system).
