A console by itself is just a means through which to play games. Judging from not only hardware sales but also the software charts, it would seem the Japanese are simply more interested in playing the games offered by the Switch, from Pokemon to Splatoon 2 to Smash Bros.

Only 3 PS4 games sold over a million in Japan in the almost 5 years it was out until VGC tracking ended at the close of 2018, while Switch already had 5 million sellers in Japan after less than 2 years.

Ps4 has over one hundred games that sold at least 100k in japan Switch probably not even 1/3 of that. Japan is the only country that switch has outsold the ps4 and if you dont think portability is the biggest reason then you are delusional

PS4 has been out more than 3 years longer than the Switch, of course it has more games over the extremely low mark of 100k. Selling 100k isn't an achievement.

I'm curious, how would you explain Switch already having more million sellers than PS4 while being out less than half the time? Or the portable Vita selling less than the non-portable PS4?
