It happens here in Japan with every non-ms console, but who am I to break the narrative?

Hint: even happened for the ultra successful WiiU.

I doubt it happened to the PS Vita or PS4 outside of the launch period, let alone 3 months after launch without a big game launching.

Hint: Switch is outselling Wii U, PS Vita and PS4 (in the same time period) in Japan. Only tracking below 3DS, but that sold like a beast in Japan (and Switch would be ahead without supply constraints).

Hint: because the vita and PS4 were not supply constrained by lack of availability of manufacturing components.

People don't line up for things they can buy easilly.

Also, do you want me to act surprised that a handheld console is selling better than a home console, in Japan of all places?, like.. really?
