One could wish Switch 2 stock would be better supplied in Japan right now, but its still a much better stock situation compared to what a much more supply constrained console like the PS5 had in Japan:
Switch 2 (June 2025-October 2025): 2.468.021 units.
PS5: (November 2020-January 2023): 2,462,545 units.
So Switch 2 current install base position is what PS5 had at the beginning of 2023 in Japan, so no wonder that bigger software launches is happening much quicker for Switch 2 than it happened for PS5, which basically had to wait until mid 2023 for its first bigger launch week with Final Fantasy XVI.
