It’s a big gamble on the demand of customers. If it pays off, Nintendo will reap enormous profits. If it doesn’t, they can always walk back on it and will probably be celebrated for it. They can’t really loose here.
Needless to say, I won’t touch Nintendo products with a stick. It’s a ridiculously greedy and aggressive company.
The Wii U had Nintendo Land, which was the 5th top selling game for the console.
The Switch had 1 2 Switch, which was the 40th top selling game for the console. 40th might sound low, but that’s about the same as Zelda Echoes of Wisdom, Pikmin 4 or Paper Mario Origami King.
Now this “game” looks to be terrible so far, but that can always throw it as a pack in after a year or two and suddenly the total sales bump right up. No downside.
They know that loyal fans will buy it. They will also buy Switch 2 day-one and Switch 2 OLED after 2 years. They do not care for the average costumer and user really.

The best way to touch Nintendo products is with a soldering iron - to install a modchip.
