Switch is killing it.

Jesus. That's nearly 85% Nintendo there. I wanna see what Sony does to fight back.

Do companies always have to fight back? In particular when it comes to sales spikes generated by the release of a particular game?

BOLD prediction: Sony won't change anything to 'fight back' because of this weeks sales, for the foreseable future.
I know, very bold.

I meant in the future, sarcastic person, not next week.

Yes, but you said it along with "Jesus. That's nearly 85% Nintendo there."
It's unlikely that Switch's normal baseline will be 127k. And even if it does better than PS4 in Japan in the long term, which is very likely, they don't neccesarily need to respond in any particular way as long as they are doing well by their standards. Especially in their situation where PS4 is doing great WW.
But assuming they want to do better in Japan, what do you suggest? A price cut?

Well, they've already started a big Monster Hunter World push. I think that's their best bet.

Beautiful Switch Pac-man!

And stellar Mario sales too. And Zelda's still hanging on nicely.
