Forums - Sales Discussion - Kotaku - Switch is Dominating PS4 in Japan

Meh.

I never saw the Switch beating the PS4 as a big deal since the 3DS did so well over there. However the numbers show that the Switch will not only succeed the Wii U, 3DS but also the Vita. So we should get those 3rd party games from these system. This means that the Switch will be the system with the most Japanese games for all of  9th generation. The only I support it won't get is the western focused games like Resident Evil and Final Fantasy.

It is going to be RPG galore.

Switch is 9th generation. Everyone else is playing on last gen systems! UPDATE: This is no longer true

Are you threatening me?

How long did it take the 3DS to reach 1.5 mil?

25 or 26 weeks, depending on where you get the numbers from.

Edit - And I should specify, it reached this milestone the same week it recieved a 10,000 yen pricecut.

WOW BABY! NINTENDO IS BAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAACKKKKKKKKK

Yeah, handhelds typically do better in Japan.

The point is that the Switch is not only a handheld, but a hybrid.

Nevertheless, its Nintendo adapting to the market and playing to its strenght

Breaking news: portable console sells better then traditional home console in Japan!

Further more it's a portable and home console (hybrid) so these sales are not surprising at all. In fact Switch could have sold at least double if it had the stock.



Switch is going to destroy the PS4 in Japan, so zero surprises here.

Look at the top selling systems in Japan of all time.

1. DS
2. GB
3. PS2
4.3DS
5.PSP
6.PS
7.NES
8. SNES
9.GBA
10. Wii

Look at the timing of Sony's devices making the list. Look at the massive contraction of their home and portable market. Look at the rapid changes the Japanese gaming market has taken, and finally look at the Switch.

That's really the only perspective you need on the issue.

Pretty sure 3DS is no.3 on the list, it passed the PS2 some time back.
