mostly hardcore nintendo fans bought the WIIU, there  no question in my mind that most double dipped for a superior portable version on switch, especially with how limited the game line up was, aside from zelda, what else are they gonna buy for the next 7 months?

Nah I don't buy thay for a second. I think as you stated the Wii U was mostly Nintendo fans. If you look at Nintendos own data the Switch is being bought by a whole different group of people. Which makes sense. MK8D might have been bought for the reasons you stated but it's not because the majority of wii u owners bought a Switch and that they bought a second copy.

who knows, but i think most mario kart fans that owned it on wiiu would love a portable version.

SSB only did 10 million on one platform and that was called wii, it not guaranteed to do 10 million on switch. 

Smash 4 did ~14 million, yes its on 2 platforms but thats irrelevent, you dont segregate the sales of cross-gen/multiplatform games.

If somebody asks you how much FIFA 18 or COD: WWII sold, you would say over 15m and over 18m. You wouldnt just take the sales of a single sku to determine its sales.

how is selling on 2 platforms irrelevant? now thats its down to 1 platform?
