As long as software sales are garbage, I doubt many of these consoles are sold to Japanese gamers. Rather they are exported to China, which is something that's happening and wasn't that big during the PS3 days, due to China being a lot poorer back then.

Isn't it much more likely that Switch is being exported to China since it is cheaper?  Why would a console as popular as the Switch be shunned by the Chinese?

They both are, though to what extend ? This is a nebulous point in this whole affair. From the software charts alone, you'd think the proportion of Switch hardware being exported there isn't too big.

Earlier reports of PS5 exports pointed out that a large portion of it's sales at one point were allocated to exportation. Software sales charts seems to indicate so, yet no numbers have been given to know what proportions we are speaking here.
