Forums - Sales Discussion - In 2019 Nintendo had their highest market share in Japan in recorded Famitsu history

Wasn't Nintendo selling twice as much hardware during most of the 2000s, though?

Japan is a dying market for consoles. Once in the 80s, dedicated video game hardware survived nowhere else in the world, and now you can sell 100m of them without even launching a console there.

Nah, Nintendo's not bigger than they ever were. I haven't checked the numbers but I'm pretty sure Wii+DS sales were considerably higher than Switch sales are now. But, at that time, the PSP had a large chunk of the market. With Sony's portable line gone, Nintendo's marketshare goes up.
