Or, just a guess, the Switch has more Resident Evil fans than you think and that's why the Switch version outsold the other versions. Period.

That's unlikely considering Resi 4, 5 and 6 all sold above a million on PS4 and Xbox One and Resi 7 sold way more. There is less reason for Resi fans to buy a Switch than PS4 unless there is a huge overlap of Nintendo and Resi fans.

Relative to installbases, they should, but that installbase (or fanbase) didn't buy this one. If the Switch had those installbases it could have sold the same or more. RE games managed to sell over a million on Nintendo systems before. And there was more than enough time to get over whatever fatigue there was between all those ports. If they weren't fans, we both would agree, they would have had different games to play (there were a lot of releases between October and December) yet they still bought it.

There was more interest for this version than the others. Could have been the portability. Simple.
