Wii was 12 million in Japan. So Switch is going to shatter that number.

Bite my shiny metal cockpit!

Man, Switch has been selling like crazy. With the addition of Switch Lite I can see it reaching 3DS numbers or even more, especially if Nintendo doesn't release another dedicated handheld.



Well last week on Famitsu Switch have somewhere around 9.7mil LT. It couldnt have sold 300k in this coming weekly sales. So it should be shipped.



Pocky Lover Boy! 

doomed.

Nintendo will become third party

Sold through number since Nintendo already shipped 10m of Switch in Japan last September.



I do wonder if the Switch is going to reach anything close to 3DS numbers in Japan, now that it has a fully handheld model in the market.



You know it deserves the GOTY.

Pokemon and Animal Crossing will make sure of it.

Shouldn't be a problem with the way the PS market has eroded and Sony not being expected to make any moves to improve things. Switch is bound to have much better first and third party support throughout its life in Japan, so the only factor (price) that makes it track behind the 3DS launch-aligned is merely a matter of time. Eventual price cuts are a given, so over time Switch will close the gap to the 3DS.

True, but if mobile gaming already eroded a lot of the 3DS marketshare, I'm not sure if the Switch will be able to stop that mobile trend. Plus, the 3DS had Youkai Watch and Monster Hunter, massive sellers in Japan, Nintendo will have to search for replacements for those...

Ringfit is a good start for a replacement, even if it won’t reach the heights of yokai( and I’m still a believer of monster hunter switch).
