I'm sure Smash will finally put Switch in front of PS4 in Japan...LOL!

Meanwhile PS4 is almost at 90 million sales worldwide. (and still nr.1 in Japan, but who cares anyway, only losers hoping to win second place would care about a dying gaming market)

Very impressive numbers for the Switch and the Pokémon Let’s Go games. Just wait until the mainline Pokémon game launches, those numbers are going to be astronomical.

Surprisingly, Fallout did better in Japan than it did in the UK.

@blackhairedhero: PS4 came out 2013, while Switch came out 2017. PS4 is already damn cheap to afford now. Is that why the PS4 has a dominant market?

@FireEmblem_Man: It was beating it when it was $300 everywhere but Japan.

So it's not just because its cheap. The price drop just happened.

700k? a little dissapointed. however splatoon2 also did 700k at launch and splatoon is already at 3M sales. lets see if lets go can tie or beat splatoon2.

as for hardware, a massacre. ps4 sales didnt increase AT ALL. very bad news for sony (in japan).

where is @sakaixx? is this what you wanted to see?

Actually the current price of the PS4 and the Switch isnt far off from one another. Also, its easy for sheep to say that the Switch is selling at the pace the PS4 was in its first two years while completely ignoring that the PS4 was also $100 more expensive than the switch has been AND with already two of its biggest IPs released... you all seem to remember what fits you the most, uh?

And yet Sony has a bigger established line of games vs Nintendo, go figure that the price is still a factor when you're in the lead since 2013. How the hell could Nintendo catch up with just 1 year and a half through the market with no titles compared to Sony's exclusives that have been baked and released?

The insane irony. That gif is an actually a representation of you. The Switch is getting bodied everywhere around the world and you're focusing only on Japan where it's beating PS4 in an attempt to ignore the fact that a 5 year old console is wrecking your newly released console. Lets assume the PS3 is the fire, everywhere around you is on fire but you're looking at one spot that isn't engulfed in flames and claiming victory lol.

how stupid. you come into a japan thread with worldwide sales of a console that has been out for 5 years! gimmie break. not to mention nintendo has smoked sony in npd many times and will again in nov and december.

if you have no ammo to fight nintendo in japan then stay the **** out of media create ales threads and stick to sony WW reports. when sony wins npd or ww sales are reported i dont come in thread saying BUT JAPAN! because i stay relavent to the topic. cows cant do that in japan because its an outright massacre.

I don't get why you're so desperate even though PS4 won NPD. Are you really that insecure?

At least you'll have to stop this in a few months once Switch overtakes PS4 in Japan. Then you can just ignore these threads.

Sony can't surpass Wii sales in Japan with the PS4, even if they will have Kingdom Hearts 3, Switch will continue to dominate.

Sony can't surpass Wii sales in Japan with the PS4, even if they will have Kingdom Hearts 3, Switch will continue to dominate.

that's because Nintendo is really popular over there and the Wii was a gimmicky mainstream fad that appealed to wide demographics. what does the wii have to do with last week's console sales lol

Because the Wii is the last home console that sold above 10 million units in Japan. PS3 didn't make 10 million units, and now the PS4 is struggling to hit the mark. The Switch will easily surpass it.
