Nintendo Switch Sales Surpass PlayStation 4 in Japan
What makes this especially impressive is that the Nintendo Switch has only been on the market for two years. The PlayStation 4 has been available for five years. That said, console gaming has been dying in Japan for awhile now. However, while the Nintendo Switch is half console, it's also half a handheld, which remain popular in Japan, though not as much as they used to be thanks to mobile gaming, which dominates a lot of Asia.
Beyond Japan, the Nintendo Switch is currently on a pace similar to the PS4. The Switch currently boasts roughly 35 million units sold, while the PS4 is around 92 million. Now, it seems unlikely the Switch will tap out with numbers bigger than the PS4, but it's currently on track to at the very least give it a run for its money.
Comparatively, the Nintendo Switch's numbers in Japan are lower than the 3DS and DS, which sit at 10 and 16 million, respectively. Meanwhile, it's not selling anywhere near as fast the Wii did.

Can you really say PlayStations Home market is still japan? Either way, this isn't surprising. Nintendo has always been the most loved company in japan and with the switch being so great this just makes sense.
