Switch is on fire and it's still selling out. Sales are strongest in the two weeks before Christmas so long as Nintendo gets the stock out there it should have no problem reaching 200,000 the next 2-3 weeks. If they ship out enough stock they may even manage 300,000. Either way it will be at around 3.15-3.35 million for the end of the year . . . right around the lifetime sales of the Wii U in less than ten months on the market. At the current sales rates the Switch will surpass the PS4 there sometime late next year or early 2019 (probably depends on when Pokemon launches). With no handheld anywhere in the foreseeable future Nintendo will have Japan on lock unless the Japanese' preference for on-the-go gaming changes.
Eh, whatever floats your boat. Also that NPD data isn't confirmed yet and you're ignoring most of the previous months.
I find these Japanese sales exciting because it means the Switch will be getting a lot of third party Japanese games. When it's clear the Switch is going to dominate the Japanese market then it's far more likely that games like Final Fantasy, Dragon Quest, Nioh, Neir, Tekken, and many more will likely be made with the Switch in mind. Many third party Japanese games this gen have been Playstation exclusive, but that will no longer be the case and many of them will be coming to Switch as well. Having those games available on more consoles for more people to enjoy is a great thing for gaming. It also basically guarantees that the Switch will be the best console to get access to Japanese titles from here on out.
In the US that's not such a big deal. The Switch install base is going to be compared to the PS4 + the Xbox One there. Although the Switch install base will be large enough to attract notice, it's not going to outsell the PS4 + the Xbox One and make the splash in the market that it will in Japan.
No you don't.. you don't wish that at all. Switch won the past 3 NPD's or whatever. You didn't bat an eye. Now PS4 wins November NPD and suddenly you are all over it.
? I mean I'm not sure why you didn't even consider that you're only talking about a few days sale it also has yet to release worldwide so I'm not entirely sure how you could confirm it's the second worst selling but it's only been on sale for a few days..
I don't even think that matters to Sega they just care that the game selling at all so when you're reaching at the top of the charts, trust me, they don't care.
Also understand that this is before an official worldwide release.
First post in 125 days and that's the best you could come up with?
I never claimed GT Sport would be evergreen in Japan, but for some fun, why don't you crawl out from under your rock in another 125 days and we'll see how Xenoblade 2 is faring against GT Sport globally.
Nintendo is dominating Japan. Most of the top 20 is Switch and 3DS games some of which have remained in the top ten for months now. To see Splatoon still selling like that after launching last July is crazy. Congrats Nintendo on another steller week.
Wow, people in Japan like Yakuza! And i wasn't expecting a second place for Earth Defense Force, not bad. And as usual great sales for Switch and Nintendo in general, congratulations!
Well if the Japanese buy different consoles for colors to match their clothes I bet they are really happy that they no longer need to do that with the Switch. They just need to buy different joycons

Good to see Yakuza doing well!
Wow, PS4 Pro outsold the standard ps4
Also, who was it that was saying Xenoblade would be evergreen? It dropped like a rock.
