Ouch at hardware.

Ouch? Seems like everyone had a great week. 



Pocky Lover Boy! 

Really was expecting Switch to be down. They are producing so many units now it's nice. PS5 waking up, 25k is actually not bad

Switch's sales is normal for console after New-year markets. Simply, sales in January is apparently more than expected.



If you need something about Japanese market from the perspective of Japanese, please contact me.

Consoles with Highest Sales in Japan
1. Nintendo DS (33.01)
2. Gameboy (32.47)
3. Nintendo 3DS (24.64, probably very little movement from here on out)
4. PlayStation 2 (23.18)
5. PlayStation 1 (21.59)
6. PlayStation Portable (20.01)
7. Nintendo Entertainment System (19.35)
8. Nintendo Switch (18.22, so far)

Based on how the Switch is selling, what do you think it's end of year sales will be in Japan, and where do you place lifetime sales in Japan?



Xbox droped almost 1/3.
Seems some xbox buyers from previous weeks got it because ps5 hasnt enough stock available...

I'm expecting the Switch to have lifetime sales in Japan around ~30Million based off of the current pace its going, making it competitive against the DS and Gameboy.

I expect another ~6M year for Switch, so that would put it between PS2 and 3DS at years end.  Lifetime, honestly at this point I expect it to become the highest selling system in Japan all time.  So 33M+.
