"So far, it's unclear if titles using Game-Key Cards are selling more or less quickly than cartridges."

This was known from week 1, game key cards are a monumental flop. One of the dumbest things Nintendo's ever pulled. The whole point of the Switch for many gamers is physical media, otherwise you should get a Steam Deck.
