2024 Year-to-Date, Switch now almost doubles PS5.

Good opening for Zelda EoW. I believe Link's Awakening was about 140-150K opening in 2019.

Surprising to see Zelda at Yen6980. I guess Nintendo left the 'standard*' price of Yen5980 now in Japan. In my country it still is the 'standard*' Eur59,99.

(* I know some games like botw/totk were already priced differently)

And to think that, in the beginning of the year, "Will the PS5 outsell the Switch?" was a topic of discussion

I think it’s more than possible that even if the Switch 2 releases next year, the Switch 1 can outsell the PS5 in Japan in 2025. It’s crazy to say, but with the Switch 1, you just never know because it still has a great active base in Japan and even if sales are slowing down, they’re not slowing down enough for PS5 to catch up week to week and month to month. Plus, with the price increases of the regular PS5 and how much the PS5 Pro is going to be right out of the gate, it’ll be hard for Sony to attract new consumers in Japan unless Monster Hunter Wilds somehow becomes an evergreen title for Sony in Japan and take significant mindshare in the country.
