Series S has been taking off lately in Japan it seems. Those Series X numbers are downright pitiful for an *entire country*??

Inb4 all consoles sold to china anyway

I wonder if the OLED model will always be the best selling one, or if this is just a temporary thing.

PS4 is still the 3rd party software king even with the huge difference in LTD user base compared to the Swtich.

PS4 is 3rd party king in the West but not in Japan. For multiplat games the Switch version will sell the most lifetime in the majority of situations (depending on franchise history). This has been the tend for a couple of years now and so far nothing indicates that will change.

Those Switch sales are great. It'll be close between 2020 and 2021 final sales, but it's shocking to think that 2021 could be their best year yet. There is still a ton of life left in the Switch.

And not a single PS5 title in the top 10. If the PS5 version of Demon Slayer dropped the same percent as the PS4 version it would be around 3,000 units this week. I think Japanese devs will be making cross gen PS5 games for a loooooooooong time.
