The Nintendo Switch had an impressive launch, with Nintendo reporting that based on its first week's numbers, the Switch was the company's fastest-selling console. Now the hybrid console has set a new record of outselling the PlayStation 4 and PlayStation 4 silm sales combined in Japan, according to the latest Media Create sales numbers.

The PlayStation 4 and the slim combined have sold 6,540,000 million units [sic] in 4 years, while the Nintendo Switch has sold 6,670,000 million [sic] units in Japan in just 2 year. These numbers does not include the sales of the PlayStation 4 Pro.

I wonder if same will happen in other regions?

Damn, pretty impressive! Will be a challenge to replicate that elsewhere though, there's still a mainstream stigma in the west of Nintendo being for kids whilst the other systems are for "real" gamers.

i think the stigma has mostly gone away at at this point tbh now that the SNES/N64 generation kids have grown up

A great portable enabled device sells well in Japan? I am shocked.

I don't think this is nearly as much of a problem as people make it out to be. Almost everyone I know either owns a Switch or wants one.

I'm not surprised really. There's a lot of popular games on it and people are expecting a few more heavy hitters in 2019.

PS4, while good, hasn't really announced anything exclusive or anything that really moves consoles.

Not surprising since Japan is THE country for handhelds.
Heck, PS3 games have been available to play on phones there for almost a decade.
Its via streaming of course but their infrastructure is so much better than other countries sans South Korea that there's a lot less issues with it.

- I dislike Sony and Nintendo equally but own both of their consoles plus a PC.
- I'm a traditional leftist and I literally work for the government.

Nintendo goes the opposite direction with censorship and they reap the rewards

Awesome news. I'm down for more 3rd parties, and seeing Japanese games ported for Switch and Ps4/PC is nice
