Went to Wikipedia, found a link to a gaming bolt article, where it was stated that Ubisoft explicitly said "players", not sales. They were noted this on the talk page of the Wiki article "best selling Switch games".

It didn't actually sell 7.5 million copies. That's what Ubisoft said.

This actually raises more questions than it answers. How does Ubisoft get this number? Because, you know, Mario+Rabbids isn't an online game. it can be played on Switches that never go online at all.

And differs this number so much from actual sales? Because, how many people per household/switch do play it? It isn't your usual party game or something that is shared between the family. These tactics games have usually a smaller fanbase, which means often only one person per household. Overall a strange thing to announce.

I guess it probably sold more than half of the player number.

This also includes people who played it with used copies.
