In the path of redemption, you are.

As many have already pointed out, this isn't really surprising considering how well portable systems generally do in Japan. Even the Vita is doing decently there despite being more or less dead everywhere else.

A SONY IS DOOMED THREAD?

It is only a matter of time before the Switch overtakes the PS4 in Japan. I don't know how much time, but it will happen eventually.

Kotaku can you be any more click-baity with that title, for this gaming subculture? =p this stuff is GOOOOOLD for threads

PS4 is still doing well there too, good to see a relatively healthy market still puttering along

Of course it is and will continue to do so. This is the Switch at its lower power level in Japan. Wait for Pokemon, Animal Crossing, etc. to come out over there.

The amount of Japanese post here from so many people outside of Japan is odd

It's been quite awhile since I've been this shocked.

So it's going to have a combination of Vita and 3DS RPG support? 

Good news for Nintendo, especially after the fiasco that was the Wii U.

Then again, the Wii U did put up quite the fight against the PS4 in Japan. Took almost 3 years for the PS4 to finally outsell it, iirc.
