No it's not, PS4 had one of worst 1st year ever for any gaming hardware in Japan. And this comparing from Kotaku is about launch year for PS4 and launch year for Switch.

Switch doesnt need ps4 to look good. Should kotaku have compared it to the psvita then? (No youll say just 3ds only) That said ps4 is a better choice than vita and switch is a home console as well. Beside what does it matter? You have no problem comparing nintendo things outside of Japan (like in UK) so stop complaining lol |
Actually Switch is selling better even than PSP despite fact that's still heavily supply constrained.
Wii U long time ago left in dust Vita, Wii U and PS4, so there is no reason to compared Switch sales with them any more, Switch is now battling against serious players in Japan.
| twintail said: Comparing to the PS4 makes sense considering its the no1 console atm. But for Japan its a pretty useless considering how the market it is. Right now the interesting battle is Switch vs the 3DS. 3DS is still ahead weeks aligned, but in about 7 weeks it will start seeing massive gains. Will be interesting to see if the Switch can keep up. |
With Mario Odyssey Switch launch will also have huge boost in shipments, most likely around 100k.
