Full title: Nintendo Switch Sold Over 3,800,000 Units in Japan in its First Year; Triples the PS4’s Debut Year.

Some parts from the article:

Today Media Create released its weekly charts updated to March 4th, and adding the results to historical data, we finally know how many Switch units Nintendo sold in Japan in its first year on the local shelves.

Counting the 45,083 units sold last week, the total count is now at 3,802,910 which is definitely remarkable, especially since for most of the year the console has been hard to find in the country.

This is some amazing news. Japan has really embraced the hybrid console. This ensures Japanese support for years to come.

That's impressive considering Switch had more competition than PS4 during their first years.

Wow. It's selling really well in Japan.

How much did 3ds do first year in Japan?

Just over 4 million. Much lower priced of course.

Yeah, it's a no brainer it'll pass PS4 probably by year's end. In Japan at most. Very impressive.

Done it.

With this kind of numbers, how long is it going to take to beat its competition? There are around 6.5m PS4s, 5.4m Vitas and 23m 3DS in Japan, according to VGChartz. The Switch should be able to beat PS4 numbers around summer of 2019, and Vita's around this year's Christmas. The 3DS is going to be a tough nut to crack, the Switch will need a pricecut or another model to try and beat those numbers.

How does it compare to other consoles, like Sony's?

That, and Pokemon, exclusive Monster Hunter, and maybe rejuvenate Yokai Watch :P
