Switch vs 3DS in Japan – VGChartz Gap Charts – January 2020

Switch Vs. 3DS Japan:

Gap change in latest month: 309,063 – 3DS

Gap change over last 12 months: 354,932 – 3DS

Total Lead: 2,873,744 – 3DS

Switch Total Sales: 12,027,627

3DS Total Sales: 14,901,371

January 2019 is the 35th month that the Nintendo Switch has been available for in Japan. During the latest month the Switch closed the gap to the 3DS by 309,063 units. In the last 12 months, the 3DS has outsold the Switch by 354,932 units. The 3DS is currently ahead of the Switch by 2.87 million units.

The 3DS launched in February 2011 (however, 3DS sales have been aligned to March 2011, since it only launched at the end of February in Japan) and the Nintendo Switch launched worldwide in March 2017. The Switch in its first 35 months has sold 12.03 million units, while the 3DS sold 14.90 million units.

The 3DS has sold 24.59 million units lifetime in Japan through December 2019. The Switch is currently 12.56 million units behind the lifetime sales of the 3DS.

I still reckon Switch can catch up, as it still has a lot more room for price cuts and revisions, which should give it better legs.
