And its not just the US:

Crash Bandicoot N.Sane Trilogy on Switch was the No.1 best-selling boxed game last week across EMEA. In the UK, although it was close, it was the Xbox One version that was No.1 - beating the Switch version by 250 copies. Meanwhile, across EMEA, the Xbox One boxed version only makes No.9.

Even when you include Xbox's digital sales (again, Nintendo does not share digital sales), Crash Bandicoot on Switch still reached No.3, while on Xbox One it was at No.6. So Switch had the best-selling version by a large margin, even though not all Switch sales are counted.

 

Out of the Top 20 boxed games across EMEA, 10 were Nintendo Switch games. Mario Tennis Aces is at No.3 (just behind The Crew 2), having been No.1 last week. Mario Kart 8 Deluxe is No.5, while Minecraft: Switch Edition is at No.6, dropping three places week-on-week after its initial launch.

Eight of the Top 20 were PS4 titles, while Xbox One accounted for just two of the best-selling physical games last week (The Crew 2 and Crash Bandicoot making the list for Microsoft's machine). Xbox has struggled for momentum across numerous EMEA territories this generation, whereas the console has been comparatively stronger in the UK and US (remember, UK physical sales are missing).

The Switch is certainly currently on a roll in Europe too.
