Mario Kart World topped charts for months after the Switch 2 came out. Part of that is console bundles inflating the numbers, but Mario Kart was always going to sell regardless.

EA Sports FC 25 keeps showing up in sales data because football games always sell in the UK.

As I write this, I'm in an Uber on my way to the airport to fly to Los Angeles for Summer Game Fest. Odds are, there wasn't really going to be a good window for me to use my Switch 2 if it had showed up on time, but this doesn't change my disappointment that it still has not arrived at my home in New York City.
