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.

So we're essentially agreeing with each other then.

Game was never going to sell a load of copies. It's a niche game of a late port with a niche audience on a system with slim audience compared to the PS4 and Vita. Which is why I think 10k sells is not bad at all. I'm not even saying that this game would sell like the PS4 and Vita if the Switch install base was the same, I mean the audience got the game already.
