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

(...)

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 

At least in my case, the interest for the Switch came from a mixture of these two factors: 1) I bought a DS and, years later, a 3DS to play Pokémon, and I would buy the next console that had a game in the series; 2) the last Nintendo home console I had before the Switch was the N64 (although my brother had a Wii).
I think the Switch must have attracted several gamers who haven't had a Big N non-portable console in a while - and I believe one of the factors for this is that it has the best third-party support for a Nintendo home console since the SNES.



It sounds good when you say "For the People", but what you really want is... a stronger army than the Knights, and the evil power to control the people.
