Interestingly around 20% of Switch sold (I assume in FY 2021) are a second puchase.

Q: Where is there further penetration for Switch?
A: About 20% of Switch purchased is the second device in the household, expect that to continue to grow. Also seeing nice growth in Asia which has very good room for growth. EU given its scale has room to capture growth

Not sure whether it means second Switch device and not second console device, but i assume the former as I would expect a much higher % for the latter based on how many PS4s+X1's are out there in the wild. 

The Animal Crossing effect.

Not just Animal Crossing. The fact that you can buy a single copy of a physical version of a game and multiple people can play it on their terms (in bed, on the Living Room TV, in the car, etc) is a major selling point. It's why we have 4 Switches, my one brother has 4, my other brother has 3, etc.

Switch continues to sell like hotcakes... that march to #1 Hardware of all time is getting easier and easier...
