As I said in a recent weekly sales thread, I feel like the Switch's dominance in Japan distracts folks from just how much it's kicking arse in North America.

It may not be crushing the competition quite as spectacularly in the weekly charts there, but it's still selling incredibly well.

According to Daniel Ahmad/Zhuge, 13 million of these sales are in the USA, which is very close to PS4's sales in the same timeframe.

Historically, the US market is always very strong for Nintendo products. Even with N64 that even competed with a console that sold a lot, like PS1. Sony's console only left the N64 behind when Final Fantasy came out. Perhaps there must be an affective relationship with the American public, something merely incremental, logical. If the console has few games or few system sellers, there's no way.
