New video game data released for Japan has shown that the Nintendo Switch family of systems have now outsold Sony’s legacy system, the PlayStation 3 in Japan. The Nintendo Switch has now sold 10,432,570 units in Japan, and as of 2016, the PlayStation 3 had sold 10,248,867 units. The next target for the Nintendo Switch is for it to outsell the Wii which is at 12,739,119 units.
Wii only sold 12.7m in Japan!? @.@ I thought it’d at least be at 20-30m.
If you think about the amount of time the Vita was supported in Japan, where it was a mild success, I think the switch is gonna keep on receiving third party support in japan for a veeeery long time. I think it could potentially sell more than the ps2, since we are less than three years into its cycle, and it´s almost halfway through the 23 million mark.
