Forums - Sales Discussion - Japan Consoles Showdown 2025: April 13th

 

Will the PS5 pass 1M in Japan this year ?

Yes 4 66.67%
 
No 2 33.33%
 
Total:6

Data and charts have been updated with week 9 from Famitsu.

The comparisons for the Switch were changed, because of the sales pace through out the year, it will have, and had the last 2 years - weak holiday, and almost the same months through out the year. The final targets are almost the same - 1.55M in the face of PS3 '10 and 2M in the face of PSP '11. (from 2.1M of the 3DS and 1.6M of the Wii). Both of these years are what type of year the Switch should have this year - starting at a higher baseline, lowering a little in the summer and autumn, and little boost in the holidays. Other thing I didn't like on the old one was that the two competitors were almost the same until the holidays, and it's better to have difference between them from the start go, just like it's now.

The charts will be updated next week, since March will be 5 weeks month in all regions for VGChartz, and I strictly follow that data.
