Nintendo has been enjoying a year of success with the Nintendo Switch that launched worldwide in March. Developers, the Press and, most importantly, the fans have all publicly praised Nintendo’s latest console and it looks like Japan is no exception. Sales are so strong that figures indicate that the Switch is about to overtake the PS2 in terms of first-year sales in the territory. The news comes from SwitchSoku who obtain their figures from Famitsu.
In the launch year up until December 17, PS2 total sales sat at 3,016,622 Units. This is in comparison to 2,988,399 Nintendo Switch units being sold in the same time frame. Sales of the PS2 seemed to of slowed considerably as the year came to a close whereas the Nintendo Switch’s momentum has done exactly the opposite.

Duuuuuuude…
DOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOMED!
Now you know that shtick is getting old.
Just kidding. Those “other fanbous” have been doing that crap since Sega left the console market. RIP Nintendo can’t wait to play Uncharted on my 3DO
Compare the Nintendo Switch sales with the Xbot sales and let’s see who is better.
That’s not even remotely warrant. We know Xbox is fucked either way. lol
Well, now this is a revelation. Switch is slaying the whole console market in Japan.
Wow I never knew how well PS2 sold
It sold 156 million in it’s life. The only console that came very close to beating it was the DS.
It was also on the market with constant stock refresh for over 100 years. Not only that, but it broke down often, and got replaced easily because of the year 1 price drop.
Theres a reason why the PS2 sold that well, and its games arent the only reason.
||*155 million…||
…seemed to “have” slowed…
Oh shit. Watch your back Sony. X3
GET RECKED SONY….
oh wait the ps2 is still the best selling console ever…
For now…
Switch will outsell PS2 when all is said and done. I’d say at least 160 million, could reach 200 million though.
I don’t think so but I think it will outsell the Wii. But then again, if the Switch receives DS style updates, it’s possible
It could double the Wii sales because it makes sense to have more than one Switch per household whereas with the Wii you only needed one. :)
The problem with that logic is that the casual market that ate up the Wii arent eating up the switch. Its a different audience and you can tell by the attach rate. I hope the switch succeeds, and something other than a media console holds the title.
We’ll see if their mobile strategy works in bringing some of those people back into the fold.
Oh I really hope it does, if not, at least get them to spend so they have revenue to put into the switch’s library.
“seemed to of”
Well I’ll be damned.
