Nintendo has shipped one million switches to China.
Nintendo Switch
The video game company has sold a huge sum of consoles to China since launching in late 2019, according to its Chinese partner Tencent Holdings Ltd.
It has become the biggest console in the country after surpassing Microsoft Corp and Sony Corp and beats the PlayStation 4 and Microsoft's Xbox One sales combined.
The news comes after games for the console were limited in China following the coronavirus outbreak but have since soared following the release of 'Ring Fit Adventure' in August.
Gamers have limited access to games as games have to be approved by regulators with only 13 games available but hits such as 'The Legend of Zelda: Breath of the Wild Bears' and 'Animal Crossing' are still waiting for the green light.
Meanwhile, Doug Bowser - president of Nintendo of America - has promised the company will "really lean into both" the Switch and Switch Lite in 2021.
He told Polygon: "[T]he way we build games onto the platform, and the way partners build games onto the platform, is really what matters and the experience that you have when you play. "So that's what we'll continue to lean into as we go into really what will be the fifth year of Nintendo Switch. "And as Mr. [Shuntaro] Furukawa [president of Nintendo] mentioned in his corporate management policy briefing, we believe we're just at the midpoint of this life cycle on this platform."
