Considering how some of the bigger releases on Switch 2 hasn't attracted massive physical sales yet, I'm quite surprised at the performance of ZA on SW2 !

I think it's more that there just haven't been many big physical releases on Switch 2 yet; Mario Kart is doing great, DK isn't as big in Japan as in the West but is still showing decent legs, Mario Party and Kirby are Switch 1 ports that most of the Nintendo crowd already played or passed on, and third party games are mostly key cards which consumers seem to avoiding.

So far sales show consumers aren't avoiding the key cards. FF Tactics despite being a code in box sold more than the PS4 version, Little Nightmares 3 sold as much on Switch 2 as PS5 despite the big install base difference. We even see in the UK weekly sales Switch 2 versions sometimes outselling other versions despite the install base difference. I know the minority hates key cards and want to believe people aren't buying them, but let's not kid ourselves here.
