That's not crazy at all. If anything it's crazy that it has only closed by that much so far. The 2nd year of a Nintendo portable system should be slaughtering the 5th year of a Sony home console in Japan.  Reminder that Nintendo is expecting to ship 20 million Switch units this fiscal year. They are waaaaaaay off course in Japan to meet that with the fiscal year already half over.

Sorry, the new system should slaughter the system in the year after peak (or maybe even peaking this year in japan)? This seems highly unreasonable. That the Switch sells so much more is a sign of the weakness the PS4 shows in japan.

Yes, the PS4 is incredibly weak in Japan. Hence when the Switch is just barely easing past it it's not really 'crazy' to be pushing slowly past something that is itself crawling.
