In addition, sales of other titles and titles released by other software publishers continued to grow steadily, bringing the total number of million-seller titles during this period to 20, including the titles of other software publishers.

Cita:Major software titles slated for release on Nintendo Switch include New Super Mario Bros. U Deluxe in January and Yoshi’s Crafted World in March, as well as major titles planned by other software publishers. We aim to broaden the platform’s user base by adding new titles and strengthening sales of popular titles already in the market.
For Nintendo 3DS, we will continue to leverage the platform’s rich software library and its hardware install base to further expand sales of evergreen titles.

In the smart-device business, Mario Kart Tour was scheduled to be released this fiscal year, but in order to improve quality of the application and expand the content offerings after launch, the release date has been moved to summer 2019. As we endeavor to develop future planned applications, we will also focus on continued service operations for applications that have already been released so that consumers can enjoy playing them for a long time.

We have updated our Nintendo Switch and Nintendo 3DS unit sales forecasts, based on sales status for the nine months ended December 31, 2018, as well as our future outlook.

There are no changes to the financial forecast for this fiscal year originally published on April 26, 2018.

Me da que esperaban más ventas por algunos juegos que salieron en el año -Mario Tennis por ejemplo- y han sido demasiado optimistas.

Hasta Vita vendió más que WIIU 

[RUMOR] Nikkei dice que Nintendo sacará una Switch más pequeña y un servicio premium online

“They’re taking measures as for what is to come – one of those being a smaller version of the Switch. The company said that ‘couldn’t comment’ on their plans for the product, but has informed multiple suppliers and game development companies that they intend to release them as early as 2019. According to their affiliates, they are ‘miniaturizing the console with portability and playing outdoors in mind, as well as cutting features to reduce the price and expand the userbase.'”

“The Switch’s monthly online service launched in 2018, and plan to launch a new service aimed at game enthusiasts willing to pay more sometime in 2019.””

Entre los juegos sin anunciar se encuentra uno desarrollado para el Online:

Nintendo also said unannounced titles for Switch in FY19 include "one that is a nice fit to the online program." My understanding is a game that you would play with or against other players over the internet. If it wouldn't be a new IP, what would be your guess?

As with all unconfirmed information, we urge readers to take this date with a grain of salt. If these retail sources are reliable, however, we should receive some sort of announcement from Nintendo soon.

Sería bueno porque dejaría mayor espacio después del verano, pero dejaría poco margen para Fire Emblem antes, o mayo o junio...

En cualquier caso, a ver esas sorpresitas, a ver si me dan una alegría con anuncios que hace mucho que Nintendo no me anuncia algo que diga "JODER SI".

FE va en Mayo fijo, con la Fire Emblem Expo del día 4 de Mayo.

Animal Crossing cuanto antes salga, mejor. Va a vender durante toda la vida de la consola, así que casi deberían haberlo sacado de salida
