Considering the massive difference in install base, the PS5 version of that Trails in the Sky game selling a couple of more units physically than the Switch version is impressive.

I think some of these niche JRPG franchises have their core fanbase on PS, we see similar trends with others like Ys, Atelier etc. Probably has to do with these franchises historically being connected with PS, i think most of those kinds of franchises only started to come out on Nintendo consoles during the Switch era.

Correct, in the past Nintendo consoles either didn't get such IPs at all or were limited to spin-off games and late ports.

But as far as installed base is concerned, it doesn't matter at all when we are talking about games that sell such low numbers. There's no artificial cap on the sales potential of such games, so it really isn't impressive. After all, it's an attach rate of only 0.3% on the PS5.

All that Trails in the Sky shows is what we've seen repeatedly in the past: That it takes time for a once PS-exclusive IP to attain a majority share on a Nintendo console.
