But the data shows that since about 2007, Nintendo dominates the software charts in Japan with a big margin, even in the 2014-2017 period thanks to the 3DS.
Trying to suggest that the PS ecosystem decline only started recently when the Switch releases is incorrect since the data shows otherwise. I would take anything that Bloomberg publish with a grain of salt anyway, Sony only said that they were expecting to ship more than what the PS4 shipped for FY2014 which was 14.8 million units for FY2021. They never increased their forecast to 16 million units. And considering that digital sales are a thing now, the data seems incomplete, but performance seems to be similar of what the PS4 was doing back in 2014. And take into account that Sony changed their method in Japan and they tend to focus towards a WW success in sales instead of only one region. The PS4 is the only console/handheld to sell 1.5 billion games excluding Japan sales.

Digital is not a thing in Japan. Growing digital rates, for sure, but physical is far stronger in Japan. |
30%+ digital is pretty common in Japan. How is it not a thing.
