| archbrix said: Frankly, I think that Switch is highly benefiting from the fact that the PS5 is just not very popular in the region. Switch is in its 8th year, all of the big guns have already been fired, it's hitting its saturation point already and the system's successor is arriving soon. And yet, the PS5 just can't get any traction against it in Japan despite the aforementioned circumstances. Playstation 5 and its games are pretty expensive by comparison, but it's doing just fine elsewhere in the world. |
This is a very poor take IMO because the PS5 sales are still above PS4 sales when aligned. Then again maybe you think the PS4 was also 'unpopular'. The situation in Japan is unique. But I think calling PS5 unpopular is disingenuous. Xbox is not popular in Japan. Also, I don't agree with the idea that Switch can only do well if someone else is seen as unpopular. Switch can be selling well and PS5 can still be outpacing the PS4 and doing well at the same time.
