Alternate take: Switch 2 owners are an ideal demographic if you need someone that will pay money for the same game over and over again ad infinitum.
The game has already sold millions before Switch release, and was the best selling game (not counting gamepass) for few months when it was released.
That being said, I have no actual proof that those people weren't Switch 2 owners who just bought it on other platform because it wasn't out on Switch 2 yet.
Yes, but don't we all buy games over and over again? But also, there's probably a decently sized loyal Nintendo group who are seeing some of these old games for the first time.
