The Switch will definitely go over WiiU's Japanese LT sales by next month. The real question is how fast the Switch will outsell the PS4 and Vita there. Once that happens, it will be interesting to see what will happen in terms of software support. I wonder if smaller Japanese studio's will be brave enough to develop games for Sony's main competitor.

Long-term I'm expecting to see a lot of give and take in Japan. Outside of deals with Sony and Nintendo themselves, there's little reason for most Japanese developers to not have their previously Sony only, and Nintendo only IP start appearing on both the PS4 and Switch.

Hopefully developers can the potential on selling on both consoles. I don’t see how these smaller Vita and PS4 games could have too much of a problem running on the Switch.

this is an amazing week for Nintendo! I’m glad ARMS came back into the top 20. It’s a really good game that’s getting more content and the tournament scene in Japan appears to be pretty cool. Hopefully it’ll do well in EVO Japan. Congrats to Odyssey for being the best selling 3D Mario in Japan at this current pace. And Xenoblade 2 is hanging in there pretty well too.
