Week 38 Breakdown:
PlayStation 4:
Down in all regions.
Xbox One:
Down in all regions.
Nintendo Switch:
Up in the United States, Europe, and the Rest of the World.
Down in Japan.
Down overall.
The PlayStation 4 and Xbox One remain around the same as they have been as the PlayStation 5 and Xbox Series launches loom closer.
As for the Nintendo Switch, this week marks the release of Super Mario 3D All Stars, putting it head to head with last year where we saw the launch of the Nintendo Switch Lite alongside Link's Awakening. What's interesting is that we see the Switch is up this week YoY in the U.S., Europe, and the Rest of the World. But it is MASSIVELY down in Japan, and that large deficit is so large that it caused the Switch to be down overall. If you ever needed evidence to showcase just how strong the handheld market still is in Japan, well here ya go.
