Yeah but the 3DS+Wii U only did 26 million combined, 3DS was released in 2011 in Japan thats a long time for even getting it to 20 million. And it was in a time when mobile wasnt as big in Japan as it is now.

Are... you serious?

20 milion is a number equal to 20% of japan's total POPULATION. Granted lots of people bought replacements upgrades or duplicates, but still. For all its glory the DS sold 30 milion in japan. Switch selling wiiU+3DS numbers in japan means basically every household that has a decent interest in gaming will have one.

 

Back to the ps4, its doing well considering that its not a console that appeals to the japanese that much. The ps2 was the last time japan really loved a home console. The ps3 was fine, but considering it had actual two sided competition (the 360 actually DID something to attract the japanese)

Like i mentioned before this was 2011, its no guarantee that the same sales number will repeat itself in 2019, but rather another decline
