Basically that Nintendo with a big console has had dominant streaks in Japan before. Sony without a handheld console is definitely more and more irrelevant in Japan.

But other big takeaways to consider: Sony's new consoles will be harder to gauge due to digital, Support from PS3---->PS4------>PS5 will probably see relatively little change, Sony/Nintendo/MS will struggle to have big games during console transitional periods due to dropping dedicated Handhelds.

Bold: In JP, digital is only 20-30%, very very very rarely it can get 40% or more in JP.

"Nintendo will struggle to provide big games to the Japanese market during the wait for Switch 2 launch" You mean Switch 2 will be just like Switch in 2017?

We don't really know digital rates for PS5. For Nintendo consoles and older consoles, for sure it has always been lower like 20%.

No, I am saying Switch will be more like the PS4 in 2020, when Switch 2 launches. A light schedule, but nothing major for the Japanese audience.

Switch 2 might be like the Switch in 2017 though if Nintendo plans it right.
