Ehhh, I don’t know about that.

Hardware sales - I don’t think it will have any effect at all.

Software sales - The thing to remember is that Tomodachi Life on 3DS came out right when the 3DS was at its peak - 2013 in Japan; 2014, everywhere else.

Living the Dream is coming out on Switch 1 roughly one year AFTER Switch 2 released and now Switch 1 is on its way out. The only way I see this game reaching or passing Life’s sales on 3DS is if it gets a Switch 2 edition later on - About a year or so later, to extend its life cycle. 

Otherwise, I think anyone who’s expecting Living The Dream to catch or surpass Life is going to be disappointed.

Why isn't the game getting a Switch 2 edition/patch at launch like Metroid and Pokemon? Is this confirmed or just an assumption?

It is very likely getting a Switch 2 Edition at launch, though Nintendo’s saving the announcement for the next direct. We didn’t know Pokémon Z-A was getting a Switch 2 Edition, for instance, until closer to launch.
