From Resetera https://www.resetera.com/threads/npd-as-of-the-end-of-q1-march-2018-70-of-us-switch-owners-also-owned-a-ps4-and-or-xb1.66884/

I remember a thread a few weeks ago about the new Mario Party game launching in October with COD Black Ops 4 and Red Dead Redemption 2. At the time i thought Bo4 and Red Dead won't have a big impact on Mario Party sales but with this info I think there's a chance Mario Party could flop. This would also explain why Wolfenstein 2 flopped last year because it launched the same day as Mario Odyssey. 

It's not only about platforms, but what you want to do with the games.

 

There is no interest whatsoever in buying a mario party game if you don't intend to play some local couch coop.

 

To my knowledge (?) that's not something that either of the other games offer, to begin with.

 

I don't think there would be any significant impact from this overlap, due to the products catering towards fundamentally different demand that a customer may have.

I think it's possible that someone is interested in CoD/Red Dead and Mario Party and may choose to buy the former instead and mario party later.
