Yeah, you are right.  I was just kidding.

My point is that Japanese gaming is handheld gaming.  I mean, PS4 is big worldwide while Vita is considered niche.  But in Japan the numbers are PS4 = 7.4m and Vita = 5.9m.  Vita is actually not that far behind the PS4 in Japan. (And 3DS = 24.4m)  It's just a handheld gaming culture. 

On top of that I'm sure most PS4 or Wii U owners have a handheld console in their household too.  I'm not sure how much overlap there is, but to be conservative I am only saying 3DS + Vita, and that would still put the Switch at 30m+.

And on gaming ofering for the japanese Vita probably had a lot more than PS4 as well.

I'm not so sure about that, PS4 has Final Fantasy, Dragon Quest, Monster Hunter, Metal Gear Solid, Tekken, Gran Turismo, Resident Evil, God Eater, Dynasty Warriors, Hot Shots Golf, Street Fighter, Persona, Star Ocean, Tales of, Dragon Ball and soon to be Kingdom Hearts.

Basically all the big Japanese properties not by Nintendo/Level 5 and these were the franchises that pushed PS1/PS2/PSP to ~20 million sales in Japan.
