Nintendo Switch, distributed in China by Tencent, has sold an estimated 1.3M+ units in 2020, almost 2x the combined 2020 sales of PS4 and Xbox One in China

Bloomberg : Tweets: @gibbogame , @cvxfreak , @arjunkharpal , and @stealth40k Tweets: David Gibson / @gibbogame : China 1.3m estimated by Niko versus 2.5m for Asia total in 9 months in 2020. Social app/WeChat connection helps the experience. Wish that was in the west.... https://twitter.com/... Alex Aniel / @cvxfreak : Asia is seemingly becoming for Nintendo what Europe has been for PlayStation. Switch is the market leader in all the largest East Asian markets now (Japan, China, etc.) https://www.bloomberg.com/... Arjun Kharpal / @arjunkharpal : China only officially lifted its ban on video game consoles in 2015. Consoles have struggled in China, a market fond of mobile gaming. But #Nintendo is finding success with the Switch. Nice story via @pingroma and @6d6f636869 https://www.bloomberg.com/... Stealth / @stealth40k : I had no idea Switch was doing so well in China considering how few games are actually even allowed to be sold at the moment.
