 you look at all the data, Wii/DS owners being a major contributor to the Switch's success makes WAY more sense than PS4/XBone owners.

Well, as of 2020 40% of Switch owners also have PS4 or Xbox in USA

In UK this number is closer to 60%

So yeah, like half of Switch userbase comes from PS4/Xbone

Switch having a huge part of DS owners makes sense, as half of DS owners also bought a 3DS and Switch is just the sequel of 3DS. The four biggest 3DS franchises are also exclusively on Switch: Aninal Crossing, Pokemon, Mario Kart and 2D Marios

But Wii-only gamers are honestly a minor factor here. With 4 Wii-related games selling over 20 million copies and not a single one of them being on Switch it's hard to believe the Wii-only gamers come back to Switch 

I'm actually more inclined to believe very old Nintendo gamers from SNES and N64 who left Nintendo home consoles came back again to play Mario Odyssey and Breath of The Wild
