The Wii brought in a lot of new people to console gaming, and that is why its sales exploded.  Switch is selling mostly to handheld gamers right now.  Nintendo always sells a lot of consoles to handheld gamers.  That is where these customers came from.  Switch also got a decent sales boost by having really good software its first year (especially Zelda).

What makes you think handheld gamers are the reason though? Just a guess?

Which region has the largest percentage of handheld gamers? Japan.   After that handhelds are important to NA, then Europe, then the rest of the world, in that order.

Where does Switch have the highest demand?  Japan, clearly, then NA, then Europe, and then the rest of the world in that order.
