2026 is a bit tough, but I think the Switch can still carry it, especially if the Switch 2 is hard to find.

I personally don’t think it’ll be that tough, GTA VI might pose a threat to the vs, but that type of game isn’t as popular in Japan as it is everywhere else.

I can see PS5 reaching near 1.0M at the max.

Switch can get to 1.0M calmly.

Switch 2 will still dominate and reach probably near 5.5M.

The 3DS sold 1.7m in Japan in 2017 and then only sold a bit under 550k in 2018 so the Switch should only sell a few hundred thousand or so there next year.
