For me the console design is just brilliant. We have two units in the house (one for the kids), with a dock on two different TVs. I love the flexibility of being able to move to another room, depending on what the wife/kids want to do. As a result I am playing and buying far more Switch games compared to ps4. Brilliant design.  It just gets used a lot.  

Edit

I think Nintendo is also doing an excellent job of couch coop, something Sony/MS have been doing a poor job of.  Mario Odyssey, Mario 3D World, Luigi's Mansion, Pikmin 3, Animal Crossing, Smash, Kart, Party, etc.  Multiplayer is also driving up my use of the Switch.  Playing family games on the weekend via couch coop is something I can't really get elsewhere.  Not with the variety of offerings the Switch has.

This, this is why the Switch is performing so well. Many didn't realize they wanted these features.

We have 4 in our house (2 Switches and 2 Lites) with 3 docks so we can play anywhere. The Xbox and two gaming PCs just collect dust anymore because the ability to play a game anywhere whenever you want just makes it a much more clear decision on which to spend time with. Oh, wife and kids want to watch a movie, okay, I will just pick up my Switch and play for a little bit in the bedroom. Oh, road trip to the in-laws, I will bring my Switch. Try doing that with an Xbox/PlayStation/PC (disclaimer, I will never own another Sony product).

And the couch coop is a really big thing that the other gaming giants are missing, not everyone wants to play CoD online. The Switch is our go to for party games when we have visitors.
