Nintendo owning this gen again in Japan!

Bring on AC and Pokemon in 2018!

Well if stores literally never ran out of stock, i'd probably be at about 8 million. But stores are always going to be out of something, there were probably a few stores that were out of ps4s in the first month

I hope they can ship at least 150k for Splatoon 2 week.

I would honestly not be surprised if Japan would sell 10-20 million units by itself. Their obsession with mobile devices actually scares me sometimes.

I don't think the demand for Splatoon 2 or breath of the wild is 12+ million in Japan, though it might be 10 when you include Mario Kart is included

Stupid Nintendo. Failure by being too successful. They realllllly need to up production soon! There are probably a couple million Japanese that would by the Switch right now if it were available. Hell it could probably pass the ps4 in japan by beginning of next year. Switch will definitely sell around 20 million in japan.

Japan is one of the biggest markets for the mobile industry. A device like the Switch is essentially heaven for them. 

mobile and handheld aren't the same and the Switch will at most do a little above 3ds but more likely do a bit worse than the 3DS. People already left handhelds because of phones, and there will probably be a few that do the same with the Switch. Although, I don't doubt in 20 million lifetime if you include Monster Hunter, Pokemon, Yokai, I was just talking sPlatoon 2

The 3DS was held back by weak specs and missed out on a lot of games.

I'm not sure how well it will do in Japan, but I see a lot of potential in it. It's clear Nintendo dies for Japan, and it seems like Monster Hunter, Splatoon, mario, Pokemon, and others will keep it marching

They say every time a Switch is sold in Japan, a new thread is created on Vgchartz.
