I'm not so convinced of Mario Party or NSMB, but yeah Let's Go definitely gave a push. I guess I just feel like Smash was the single biggest factor, particularly in terms of giving a long-lasting lift to the baseline. I mean it's one thing to spike sales briefly, but to raise a system's baseline in the long term requires a true megaton like Ultimate.

 

Let's Go leg is atrocious in comparison to NSMBUD and SMP leg

I agree an overall library is generally what contributes to a decision to buy, I just don't think games like Party or NSMB would be among the foremost games within that library to be taken into consideration, those seem to be more Smash/BOTW/Let's Go/Odyssey/etc.

Idk have you seen those games sales?

Mario Party was already over 5 million at the end of 2018 and has been charting pretty high on NPD, Media Create & EMEAA charts in 2019.

Same with NSMB, its charting extremely high everywhere and has to have sold a few million already and has only been out for just over a month.

I'm not talking about software sales though, I'm talking about shifting hardware. A game can sell millions to a platform's existing audience but not bring in a significant amount of new customers.
