Sony commenting about the Shortage for PS4 and the shortage is because of MHW.
I think Sony was caught off guard as well with Monster Hunter effect.

I think the whole world was to be honest. Can't say capcom didn't warn us though. They even mentioned it in the title. World domination for the title.

The physical Switch version of Breath of the Wild has surpassed Wind Waker to move into 6th place on the All-Time Single SKUs Legend of Zelda Japan Sales List.

And now, Phantom Hourglass is next!

If you do, that would be the perfect home for the Sales Tracker.

I believe that barring a massive push by Nintendo in the second half of the year, the marketshare for the Switch in Japan in 2018 will be lower than the marketshare for the Switch in Japan in 2017. Switch will still win, but it won't be as dominant as last year, which is that the mod's comment was stating ('starting the dominate' I believe was the wording used).

Guess I'll clarify then and just say I'm referring to the percentage of Switchs sold divided by the sum of Switches sold plus PS4s sold.

Basically that the Switch won't dominate the PS4 in Japan as much in '18 as it did in '17. But again, that's a pure guess since the second half of the year for Nintendo is a giant question mark at this point.

Honestly it was more surprise at the original comment that it didn't reference the buttkicking the Switch put on the PS4 last year and only thinks that now the Switch is starting to dominate, which is a really strange comment to come by after a month or so of the PS4's best sales in Japan in a long time.

Another good week for PS4 and Monster Hunter! 2M retail soon!

PS Vita still selling in Japan is nice.

PS4 is still higher YTD so I wouldn't call the Switch perfomance "dominating".

Besides that PS4 has supply issues in Japan too.

Of course it does, because it just had a gigantic launch with Monster Hunter and we're only just hitting March.

Both PS4 and Switch are seeing reported stock issues, PS4 maybe more-so, but that doesn't really change anything. The Switch has hit a solid baseline without any major release, it's only going to get stronger as the year progresses and more titles are hitting the shelves.
