Because it's basicly a portable, and Japan mostly buy portable; it's a "life style", and a different culture.   It doesn't matter Switch has no new games, they would buy it anyway.  

  What surprise me is people who still get surprised about it :D

Last year Switch sold consistently 40K per week, was already a portable and with the exception of Smash and Pokemon Let's Go had basically the same library - and if you look these two games are among the ones with strong legs, but others are too, so a 50% increase attribute only to these two games seems much. Maybe the announcements really helped.

Yep; the 50% increase is a lot; games is not the reason, there is nothing new to play, but the old games can be enough reason to buy a Switch, this for sure; still the peak is odd unless Switch really became a cool trend even more year after year.   I can't find another reason.
