Because they keep paying the raised prices
Switch 2 isn't even out yet. We have no idea how the raised game prices will affect sales numbers.
I know how it effected my personal sales commitment. I'm not pre-ordering a switch 2. I've got a PC and a steam deck with a huge catalog of affordable games in my future.
I think gamers have all but cemented this new reality.

Who the fuck is going to be paying the $1200 or whatever for a switch 2?
Dude. The preorders literally "sold out." My brother messaged me last week asking why there was a huge line out the door at GameStop, and I had to look it up because that was also the day Switch 2 preorders started.
G*mers are the bane of other gamers' existence. Also, most people have literally no self-control.
Damned gamers! They ruined gaming!
I mean given how the preorders have sold out in seconds, it's not a mystery.
