Mainland Asia's gaming tastes aren't too different from Japan's. Or to be more precise, South Korea and southeast Asia, because the Middle East is a different beast in cultural terms.

That's why it's shortsighted when people write off Nintendo's dominance in Japan as something isolated to Japan, because what happens in Japan will likely spill over, now that Nintendo has bothered to have an increased presence outside of their typical main territories.

Well, if the rest of the Pacific Asian region likes Animal Crossing and Ring Fit Adventure as much as Japan does, then that would definitely explain why their hardware sales are so high.

Ring Fit usually dominates the Korean and Hong Kong charts. And Animal Crossing have good performance in Korea and ok in Hong Kong

The dominance in Japan, a big market, spread fire in East Asia. It's common in big markets. 

US spreads to UK, for Xbox, one example. 

France, one place where sells a lot manga, has a Nintendo dominance.
