Kotaku Reiterates That Nintendo Switch Continues To Dominate PS4 Sales In Japan

We publish the Media Creates charts every Wednesday so if you are familiar with those then this news shouldn’t come as too much of a surprise. Kotaku has published an article reiterating that the Nintendo Switch keeps outselling the immensely popular (worldwide) PlayStation 4 in Japan. The publication has taken data for the first 26 weeks of sales data and subsequently reports (via Media Create figures) that the total sales for the PlayStation 4 in its first 26 weeks on sale in Japan is 665,760 units sold. And that “In its first 26 weeks on sale in Japan, the Nintendo Switch has sold 1,527,962 units. In comparison, it took Sony 69 weeks in Japan to hit 1,523,471 units sold.” All Nintendo needs to do now is get its Nintendo Switch stock levels sorted.

        He’s just another idiot enslaved by Nintendo because he loves them & actually believes they love him in return. He’s too dumb to realize they only love his money.

        Just another slave to a video game company.

  1. This is serious.
    I knew the Switch was a hit but I didn’t know it was this serious.
    Ninty might just have another 100m console on their hands right now.. .
    Mario Odyssey will surely sell another 5-7m units.. . Next year, Metroid Prime and the likes will push this console to hyper drive.

    Great news.

  2. So it’s more than double the units the PS4 sold. That’s more than I thought it would be. I don’t really care much about sales data, but it’s nice to see Nintendo doing well again.

      The only communist I see is the one worshiping Microsoft. Or so you would have us believe. Honestly, I bet you are actually a closet Nintendo fan posing as a Microsoft Xbot who can’t get over his grudge against Sasori who use to talk shit about Nintendo but is now actually sharing articles where Nintendo is kicking someone else’s ass currently *points at the name of the person who sent this in* Your god you’d have us believe you follow but secretly hate shared this article. lol Your move, bitch.

      1. Well you cannot deny that 99% of the posts published here are considered sh*t to you when is about of Nintendo in general and that’s why many users here thinks that you are in real a Sonyan.

        On the other hand I agree with you that the only console that’s actually not interesting is the Xbox.

          Well they can believe whatever their little enslaved minds want them to think. These are just labels they use to make themselves feel better about their own enslavement to a company that isn’t much different from Sony by pretending I’m enslaved to Sony. Maybe one day they’ll wake up & realize how foolish they are as I have.

        Pretty sure I got him figured out. Like you, he’s role playing a character. In reality, he’s probably playing on his Switch right now shooting up other squids in Splatoon 2 while wishing he could be cussing people out for fucking him up.

            It’s when people pretend or act to be someone they aren’t. In Church’s case, he acts like an xbot that wants to see the destruction of Nintendo when in reality he’s a Nintendrone trying to make fun of hateful Xbots that want to see Nintendo destroyed.

    Still got a long way to go before they truly dominate the PS4. It’s sitting pretty at over 60m. As long as games that interest me keep coming to both systems, though, I don’t give a shit whose system is on top anymore. If I could play the games I care about on the PS4 & Switch on an Xbox One, I would. I’d even play them on an updated, suped up Atari 2600 if the games looked & played exactly as they do on the other systems. At the end of the day, all these companies only want your money. Being a fan of them is the same as being a slave. Only the games matter. My loyalty is to them. God help the company that fucks them up.

    1. Consider this only the beginning and the results are amazing. Maybe in the future me, you (especially) and the others we will see something that change your damm mind about the Switch and finally considerer it as a cool console with greatness games created not only by Nintendo himself but also from other developers and indies.

      1. King Kalas X3 {I only buy exclusives that interest me on Switch. For everything else that interests me, there is PS4.}

        I’m sure there are plenty of great games on it. A good 99% are either just not what interests me or I can get them on a system with better, cheaper data storage alternatives or with a superior infrastructure & not held back by a new gimmick.

      2. King Kalas X3 {I only buy exclusives that interest me on Switch. For everything else that interests me, there is PS4.}

        Wait. Not “or with a superior infrastructure” but “and with a superior infrastructure.”

    2. Slaves huh? DON’T THINK SO! Nintendo cares for their fans! One time, a Nintendo fan’s house caught on fire and lost his Wii. So Nintendo sent him a new one, FREE OF CHARGE! DO NOT EVER DISS NINTENDO WITH ME AROUND OR I’LL SPIRIT BOMB YOUR FACE!

        Nintendo is a money hungry company like Microsoft, Sony, EA, Ubisoft, etc. They do charitable things every once & awhile to keep you fools in this false belief that they care about you personally. They don’t. But I can see you are too far gone in your fanaticism for them. Or it’s just a role play thing like with Quadraxis. *shrug* Doesn’t really matter. Carry on, slave.
