Switch with the best VGC 4 week start to a year and best VGC January ever at 1,652K. Next best is NDS 09 at 1,610K and NDS 08 at 1,585K. NSW 2020 was at 1,319K.
Switch seems unstoppable! Can’t wait to see what they have to reveal within 2021 ;)

Asia is really buying Switch like crazy. There is no doubt that Switch is popular in Japan, but the rest of Asia sold about 13% of the Switch's worldwide total. That is not a trivial little piece. Here is a further regional breakdown for Switch just using a little subtraction.
| Japan | 114,209 |
| N.A. | 93,953 |
| Europe | 85,980 |
| Asia (not Japan) | 47,904 |
| Oceania | 13,158 |
| Americas (not N.A.) | 8,233 |

I was going to post a lengthy response explaining that profits is all that matters and that Xbox division makes a lot more of that from PC Gamepass users than it would by forcing hardware sales of console by not having a Gamepass, but then I realized your Kirby and I am assuming you are just trolling?
It was going to be a great hypothetical debate, too!

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.

Nothing hypothetical about it. Raw sales are meaningless, profit margins matter. I've said this about Nintendo for a long time. Something like Animal Crossing is far cheaper to develop than Last of Us 2. Even if they sell the same, Nintendo made far more money.

Ah so we are getting serious then?
It's selling bad because, in part, a lot of people are going the pc gaming route due to Gamepass, therefore not purchasing Xboxes. This saves MS money by them not having to make and sell more xbox console for a loss and instead have gamers paying for and playing their games on PCs. Who cares that Xbox console sales are bad when they are becoming more popular and making more money because of it? The console sales are only bad because games are available on PC now. If Gamepass PC wasn't around then Xbox hardware sales would be higher but their profits would be flushed down the toilet.
The simple reality is the more gamers game on PC the more money MS makes and the less money MS loses on console hardware.
