Besides the "games sell more on Switch" factor, think it's numbers are largely due to a lot of pent-up demand for a "good" Mario Party game as fans generally disliked the Party Bus system of 9 and 10 and the excessive waggle of 8, meaning it had essentially been three Nintendo hardware generations since the last widely loved series entry. As for it moving hardware I'm not so sure about that, the week it came out saw only a tiny bump in Switch sales, and it strikes me more as a game that appeals to the already converted.
