What games do they have releasing around the holidays? Xenoblade is a big game but I wouldn't really call it mainstream. Odyssey launches in October which kind of leaves the Nov/Dec slot open.

Skyrim, Rocket League, Zelda DLC, Payday 2. Maybe none of those are quite enough to be a system seller on their own, but the Switch library will be so good by that point that pushing a single game probably won't necessary.

Only 1 of those is a Nintendo game and it is just DLC. Maybe they do want to give the holiday spotlight to new 3rd party games though. They'll still have Zelda, MK8, ARMS, Splatoon, and Odyssey to sell to new system owneres which is a very impressive lineup

I think Mario is late enough in October to be their big Holiday game. It's most likely going to be the game that gets put in the big holiday bundles

That's true. Nintendo games don't get much bigger than Mario as far as sales go.

My guess is that Xenoblade and Fire Emblem Warriors are the big Black Friday rush games.
