To be honest I might be wrong a Switch Shortage is happening in Japan.

Ah, I see. I just assumed that all models being down meant it wasn't a supply issue, since it usually has been the OLED model that has suffered from shortages.

Lite at some time and V2 has some problems now too. 

Kirby and Switch Sports still legging it like champions.

Dragon Ball flopped hard, while some third party evergreens like Momotaro and Monster Hunter continue to hang in there.

Hopefully Switch stock will be plentiful during the holidays. It'd be crazy if its gets a 5m+ year in its 6th year.

Honestly, I can only think of Momotaro and Monster Hunter as non-Nintendo games that can reach high sales in Japan. Even so, none of them comes close to Splatoon or Pokémon.

We had Yo-Kai Watch, but the last entries weren't very successful. Final Fantasy XVI has a chance of doing millions, but I'm not very optimistic. In fact, I think third party games are struggling a bit over there.

Edit: Minecraft is another one.

Final Fantasy XVI wont even sell a million in retail on the PS4+5 in Japan.

FFXVI a PS5 exclusive. May not even hit 400k in retail, but it might approach a million lifetime when digital and PC sales are added depending on reception, marketing, and PS5 shipments.

In weeks when the OLED model was out of stock, we saw a increase of the regular model and Switch Lite numbers. But this time all models sold a lot less than in the previous week. So I don't think it's a general stock issue. I can imagine that people were waiting for Mario & Rabbids or Pokémon.

I said it in a previous post already. All models have stock issues. They are sold out or almost sold out at various big retailers and resellers have raised their prices. The Switch Lite specifically has had barely any stock in months.
