I am pretty sure that d21lewis is referencing the news that Switch is the fastest selling home video game system in the United States.

I knew what he meant. I pointed it out so others might know as well. 

Not only is it inaccurate because it doesn't mention it is only in one region/location but it also fails to mention the time scale so doubly inaccurate. Fastest selling for how long. A quick google brings up this.

With very different results. It's just the way statistics are manipulated. 

What if there is some village somewhere that has only bought 2 Ouya consoles ever out of maybe only 19 households mainly elderly can I state the best selling, fastest selling, most popular console ever is the Ouya without clarifying anything else?

Ultimately what really matters is how many are sold in total worldwide and the Switch is incredibly healthy sales wise at the moment. Some consoles lose momentum like the Dreamcast for example and many others and really we shouldn't count our chickens with regard the Switch.

Here in Europe the Switch is not even close to PS4 popularity and in Japan the reverse is true with the Switch storming ahead. Xbox sales are also pretty healthy even in 3rd place overall. Fantastic for consumers with 3 major companies competing in gaming keeping prices competitive.
