The amount of damage control in this thread by some types is astounding.

Japan is becoming irrelevant? When? How? Since when did UK (my own country) overtake Japan??

Nintendo isn't just shaking Japan, but also here on vgchartz. xD 

It's funny because ps4 dominating WW has shook this place a hell of a lot more then switch in Japan.

It will be up regardless and be the best year since the ps2 for a home console.  So much to switch eating it's sales.

What if it only sells 300k in the next 5 weeks? It would be down YOY and not the best year since PS2. Thats how insignificant its lead is, its going to essentially be flat YOY with roughly 1.8m sold this year and acting like thats some sort of accomplishment.

"Yay!!! This is the least we've sucked in over a decade!!!!"

The point is they are doing good numbers and switch hasn't affected it's performance let alone eaten it's sales.

UK is the 3rd largest market, right?

And yet there a few on here downplaying the UK like it doesn't matter. Ironically we've had a lot of people over this gen downplay Japan just because the Wii u and xb1 failed. Fact is both the UK and Japan are relevant and ps4 does good in both.

Fact is 2017 overall is up nicely over 2016. It will be the biggest year for a PlayStation home console since the ps2 days. But yeah switch is eating it's sales LOL.

Are you sure that 2017. will be biggest year for PS since PS2 days!?

Currently difference between PS4 2017. and PS4 2016. sales is only around 150k, last few weeks 2017. sales are lower compared to 2016. sales, it will be interesting to see if PS4 will be YOY at all at end of December beacuse for next 2 weeks PS4 last year sold 210k.

And definitely seems that Switch sales start cannibalizing PS4 sales in Japan, because PS4 start selling worse compared to last year on weekly basis.

I just told you why thwtsca ridiculous statement but I guess you'd prefer to ignore the facts just to suit yourself. 

 

Last year q3 for ps4 was average. Q4 was amazing with ps4 slim, pro, price cut and FFXV. 

 

This year q3 was good mainly thanks to dq11 but q4 is barren. That's why sales are as they are. But feel free to keep ignoring facts so you can pretend the switch is eating the ps4's sales.
