Hearing this isn't surprising anymore, Nintendo has been really successful at building Switch as the go-to place for indie-games. But anyways congratulations to the developer

I think its more its a new console selling well and the user base are thirsty for new games. 

Exact same happened during the ps4 first 2 years. Selling fast so big user base, not enough games so ps4 players were thirsty and as a result indies were selling incredibly well. We're at the point where there's a ton of ps4 games and older AAA titles can be regularly bought on sale at indie game price. 

Imo if Nintendo can up the output of big games from themselves and third parties over the next few years indie sales will settle down although remain good.

This. It happened with the Vita and PS4. At this stage; there is no reason to play indie games on the PS4.

That wasnt relly case with Wii U, also Switch has quite stronger SW sales for same time period and install base in any case than few previous Nintendo hardwares including 3DS and Wii. Reality is that Switch install base is quite active when we talking about purchasing games in any case, going from Indies to Nintendo games.
