Stock issues once again cause the Switch to stomp the new consoles (among other factors). The 3DS finally reaches under 1,000 units sold globally. Remaining 3DS stock should be sold out by summer or early fall. Xbox continues to be a nonfactor in Japan, and I don't think that can change. PlayStation seems to be becoming more irrelevant to Japan from the PS3 to the present.

PS5 is actually doing better than what PS4 was doing in Japan in the same timespan. While their totals up to week 24 are virtually the same (658,550 vs 658,735), PS5's weekly sales are much healthier (around 20-25k) compared to what PS4 was doing back then (5.5-7.5k).

Doing slightly better now, but what in a year or 2? The PS4 was more successful than the PS3 in every region except Japan. The PSVita sold 1/4 of the PSP in Japan. The Playstation brand in Japan is heavily declining. I predicted that the PS5 will do 7-7.5 mil lifetime in Japan before it came out and still hold that prediction.
