Philippe Lavoué, director of Nintendo France, gave us somme information about Switch sales in 2019 and LTD
Highlights:
Switch sold 3.3m in 2019 (3m were expected for 31st of december 2019)
Switch sold 1.25m in 2019 (1.1 in 2018, 911k in 2017). Most sold console in the country in 2019
Switch lite: no numbers but it's in 3rd place behing PS4 and in front on Xbox1
Original Switch sold much more than Lite during the holidays
30% of users are women before the launch of animal crossing
One out of 2 physical games sold is a Nintendo game in 2019 (one out of 4 in 2018)

Pokemon SW/SH: 650k
MK8DX: 502k

They'll advertise the game again in february once it's back in stocks. They hope it'll become a long seller

EDIT:
4.9% of french population has a Switch which represents 11% of housholds
+40% increase in games sales
10 Switch games in the top 20 in 2019:
2nd: FIFA20
4th:NSMBUDX
5th: Luigi's Mansion 3
6th: Pokemon SW/SH
7th:Super Mario Party
10th: Link's awakening
11th:SSBU
13th: Super Mario Maker 2
17th: Super Mario Odyssey
22th: Ring Fit Adventure
They mention Minecraft an MK8DX being in the top 20 as well, which is weird because it would make 12 games in the top (13 in you count pokemon separately)
I don't really understand how Pokemon SW/SH is 6th (maybe counted separately?)
I'm not 100% sure Fifa20 is in second place either, but that's what they say in the news with the fact that it sold more on Switch than it did on Xbox1
EDITED: Ring fit is 22nd and not 12th
