Let's try to get this thread back on track:

Hollow Knight sold well enough on Switch that the only console version announced for the follow up (Silksong) is the Switch.
Shovel Knight had the Switch as the 3rd best platform in April 2018 when they reached 2 million sales. https://yachtclubgames.com/2018/04/two-million-copies-of-shovel-knight-sold/
The Switch got to that position in 12 months, who knows where it stands now for that game. Also worth nothing that if we use src's line of thinking the Nintendo family is the clear winner with 55.8% of all Shovel Knight sales across Wii U, 3DS and Switch.

Thread Re-railed =)

I couldn't find numbers, but I think Stardew Valley is a candidate. Also a brilliant game. They report total sales, and those went up drastically

While the times don't match up entirely, it seems that by early 2018, after a few months of release, the Switch version of Stardew Valley had already sold 1 million copies, and spent a great deal of time after that near the top of the charts. Across all platforms Stardew Valley has sold 10 million copies as of January 2020. Stardew Valley is also the top selling indie game on Switch as of 2019 with Hollow Knight in second: https://www.gamesindustry.biz/articles/2019-03-22-stardew-valley-is-the-best-selling-indie-game-on-nintendo-switch-to-date 



I describe myself as a little dose of toxic masculinity.
