Nintendo Switch sells four times the PS5 in Japan

Nintendo Switch has sold almost quadruple the PS5 in Japan during the past week: adding the standard model and the Lite model, we have a total of 89,927 units against 22,549 of the standard PlayStation 5 and Digital Edition.

According to an analyst Nintendo Switch has wiped out PS4 and PS5 in Japan, and the weekly rankings only confirm this trend, although at the moment the numbers are influenced by the limited availability of the new Sony console.

The Nintendo dominance is instead very clear in the software ranking, given that the entire top 10 is made up of games for Switch: Super Mario 3D World + Bowser's Fury returns to the top, followed by Story of Seasons: Pioneers of Olive Town and the phenomenon Momotaro Dentetsu: Showa, Heisei, Reiwa mo Teiban! .
