Wow, the Switch is doing amazing WW but especially in Japan. I never thought that I would see Japan having this big of an impact in the WW sales again. I mean, it was common for the Wii U to lead the weekly home console sales in Japan with only 9,000 units being sold on a regular week and I was even starting to wonder why VGChartz bothered splitting Japan out from the ROW. Now I see why, the Switch's Japan sales are enough of an equalizer to put it neck to neck with the PS4 WW during the biggest week of the year.
For a country the size of Japan to be pulling these numbers, the Switch must be absolutely transformative over there. Good for Nintendo, they definitely understand their home market better than Sony does.
