That is a good point. I think at the time the main competition was the SMS and PC Engine. The Famicom had the advantage of being the first Japanese console though. It didn't have to kick a previous gen system out of the top 30. The main thing keeping the Switch from a clean sweep before was the PS4. But as it gets phased out we might see more weeks like this for the Switch. |
the sega mark 3 realesed at the same time as the NES, and the SMS in japan was only a half step upgrade in japan, realesed in 87.
the PC engine was also realesed in late 87 so yeah nintendo's main competitor (sega was thrid in japan untill the sega saturn, which sold more then the n64 and near double that of the mega drive).
nintendo's main competitor duing the SNES era in japan was always the PC engine, aka the turbographix 16, which is currently sitting under the ps5 and abouve the vita, at 8 million units sold in japan.
the mega drive sold around two fifths of that...
