Ubisoft's CEO Yves Guillemot has stated that he believes Mario + Rabbids: Sparks of Hope underperformed commercially because they released it too soon, only 5 years after the first game. He says that Nintendo advised Ubisoft to release Sparks of Hope on Nintendo's next console, because Nintendo themselves believe that a series should only get one main game per console, but Ubisoft declined that advice and designed Sparks of Hope for Switch instead of Nintendo's next console.

Mario Party anyone?

Yeah, they ignored their own rule with Zelda as well, both Breath of the Wild and Tears of the Kingdom on Switch.
