Until last gen, this would have practically meant that it's a Playstation exclusive in Japan because neither the PC or the Xbox were selling over there.

But by now, both have picked up steam (the reason why the PC is getting more and more attractive in Japan is mostly because the CERO ratings only apply to consoles, so games can effectively be uncensored on PC compared to their console counterparts. Covid home office just further added some fuel to that fire), so it's not really that exclusive anymore.

But in reality it's still the same this gen. Yeah Xbox has increased a lot in percentage, which gives a nice look when numbers are low. But actual numbers are still bad. Lifetime sales is still about a week of Switch sales. One shouldnt expect Xbox to add much in terms of sales for Demon Slayer.

Yeah, on consoles, it's still similar. My point was more that PC gaming has become much more prevalent in Japan than it was just a couple years ago, and as such a PS, Xbox and PC but no Nintendo version is no longer really an practical exclusive anymore, as the PC takes an increasing amount of sales from the Playstation. Xbox certainly also has probably doubled sales of their versions in Japan (unless the difference is eaten up by the Gamepass), but an increase from practically nothing to almost nothing is still close to nothing.
