More than you think. FIFA did it annually almost. Even with the nerfed version. Witcher, Octopath, DQ, Doom, Skyrim, etc. Stardew Valley, Civ, NBA 2k, etc.
More than you think. Most were bigger IP though.
Edit: Bomberman R did also

Nintendo reports how many sold 1 million in a single fiscal year, but that doesn't include games that sold that amount across multiple fiscal years or are digital only.

I think that and madden are a done deal. Same with NBA 2k & The Show

Let's be clear. This is Nintendo's most competitive AAA 3rd party platform since GameCube. Nintendo consumers need to support 3rd parties, if they want to receive these titles. 3rd parties need to give the consumers quality ports.
I do think in year 1 and year 2 of Switch 2's life, you WILL receive these quality ports. Going forward thereafter it will depend on how the consumers support 3rd parties.
*IF* 1 million sales is the litmus test for good sales on AAA, I think some of the announced/rumored AAA 3rd party titles games easily sell that. Some will be annually, some will be cumulative over years.
IE…EA FC, Madden, NBA 2k, Civ (over time), SFVI, Cyberpunk, MLB, Hogwarts, and more rumored games like COD, Halo, Tekken, Goldeneye Remastered, Octopath 3, Resident Evil, Metal Gear, FFVIIR, DQXI, etc. Hell, Bomberman R sold over a million units on Switch, i suspect Bomberman collection could also sell over a million lifetime on Switch 2.
Other games like PvZ, Assassins Creed Mirage, Star Wars Outlaws may not break a million, but could sell VERY WELL! And the sales could fully justify the port.
I am not counting things like Minecraft which are essential to platform success, just like Fortnite and Rocket League, and even something like Genshin. Those games are different conversations. Those games will do extremely well.
Sonic the Hedgehog titles will continue to be profitable and seem on an upward trajectory. It seems somewhat predictable.
There is a TON of opportunity for 3rd parties. On paper, there seems to be a huge opportunity for Xbox games and older PlayStation first party titles as well. We will see later this year, but hopefully 3rd parties have a few more unannounced big titles for 2025 on NS2!

So, that is weird isn't it? Nintendo got the n64 edition w/ online play; while Xbox got a superior version without online play.
There are rumors of something Goldeneye related coming. Everything from the Xbox edition with online play for everyone, or Remastered edition from Xbox 360, or the canceled XBLA game being released.
With the disaster the 007 license is right now with Amazon, 007 needs some positive press. I suspect that Project 007 is close to release, and then Goldeneye the next year.
If you look around there are rumors of the EA 007 games coming back as well, which would be cool.
We will see, but if Amazon is smart, they will want annual release for 007 to build up to whenever the movie comes. Which is likely not until 2029 at the earliest.
I suspect things are slowly happening with 007.

Its all weird and unfortunate. I would have preferred it had been the opposite when it came to Switch/Xbox editions. Heres hoping good news is coming.
Most importantly the movies.

Path of Exile 2
No Rest for the Wicked
Ufo50 was mentioned in here, I second that
But most of all, I want Hello Games to put Light No Fire on Switch2. I was a couple of thousand hours into No Man's Sky when they released on Switch, so I didn't really put a lot of time into it in there, but I still bought it to support them.
If they bring LNF day and date, it will probably consume me for a while
