| Megiddo said: It's almost like in Japan the PS2 was massively more popular than the Gamecube, and now the Switch is massively more popular than the PS4/PS5. Abandoning the dedicated home console was a great decision for Nintendo. They no longer have to deal with N64/Gamecube/Wii U level of flops in Japan. |
Wii outsold PS3 yet FFXIII still outsold both Zelda games on Wii combined in the region, userbase was never the factor in FF outselling Zelda in Japan to further highlight this even the portable Zelda games were easily outsold by FF in the region and they're the most successful platforms in the country as XIII even outsold both DS games combined as well as nearly matching all four 3DS games by itself in the region. It comes down to appeal in the games have switched in the region.
