Installbase, really?  This game is going to be catered to those who are looking to buy this type game, across multiple platforms.  Those who have the game for the PS4 and vita would be those buying it for the switch and since they have a version that caters to the strength of the switch (on the go with the Vita or the home console with the PS4) it limits those who are willing to buy it again.  There will always be double dippers and those who are first time buyers and it appears for this game its to the tune of like 10k first week.

Yeah you cant really deny that another 75 million users you would find a couple of more buyers for this niche game. This game was never going to sell gangbusters on the Switch with it's limited userbase. Unless you're expecting all those who bought the PS4/Vita version of the game also has a Switch and are willing ti buy it once again.. 

Train wreck is right though. Data shows that install base has usually neglectable influence on sales. Fate/Extella seemingly isn't the type of game you purchase again, in difference to GTA, Crash or Mario Kart. Maybe the value wasn't big enough: GTA, Mario Kart and Crash all offered better value in their rerelease. Maybe competing with Splatoon stole it's thunder. Maybe the Switch-userbase are gamers for different kinds of games. Hard to say really.
