I am sure that it has been covered, but the Switch is doing disproportionately well mainly due to the general increased atmosphere of fear that exists amongst the public over the past year. Nobody wants to play a zombie game in 2021 when you just need to look outside your door to see something that appears to be fairly similar. That said, there is something about Nintendo games like Animal Crossing, Mario, Pokemon that is innocent and provides people with an escape from the depressing state of current affairs. Nintendo is benefiting from the public looking for an escape from reality, as opposed to seeking a higher definition recreation of it. It is no different than if you were to go back and watch the movies made during WWII. Movies like "Going My Way" were very innocent and lighthearted films that took people as far away as possible from the war. 10 years later, however, war recreation films became extremely popular because it was no longer the reality that people faced.
