This is not a good comparison.

MK8 Switch does not have a free upgrade for Wii U owners.

Switch is a portable.

Switch has a highly distinct userbase from the Wii U.

In regards to decline of FF, all the data you need is in 2020s release. This free upgrade for existing owners doesn't add much to this narrative and has no examples of free upgrades to be compared to.

What about my other comparisons I mentioned that did better than the original?

These aren't the only examples either, the free upgrade is what you are saying is the reason for VIIR's underwhelming performance at retail yet it does not really change the point he made because the prior version performed below expectations at the time an excuse was given that it was because the rest of gen 9 was coming. So for the PS5 version to be impacted by the upgrade basically furthers his point of an underperformance as not even 100k at retail for a mainline game. 

The other examples are also bad.

TLOU had no free upgrade. The PS4 was not backwards compatible. TLOU was a much bigger success than FFVIIR on its base platform and had better legs which continued on PS4. PS4 also absorbed marketshate from Xbox and sold 35m more than PS3 which means it exposed far more people to the game.

Miitopia on Switch is a different game from the 3DS, right? It's not a 1:1 remaster

I don't understand your last paragraph
