Switch 2 Has Already Overtaken The Combined Lifetime Sales Of The Entire Xbox Series Family And PS5 Pro In Japan

The Switch 2 is off to an amazing start all over the world, but in Japan, its success has been especially remarkable; it's already the fastest-selling console in the nation's history, outperforming even the mighty PS2.

With 947,931 consoles sold at launch, the Switch 2 overtook the 630,552 set by Sony's second PlayStation. We now have the console's second-week figures in, which make for some interesting reading. The hybrid system's first-week momentum has slowed, as you might expect, but it has now sold 1,101,136 systems in its homeland.

This robust performance means that Switch 2 has already outsold the combined lifetime sales of the entire Xbox Series family in Japan—that includes the Series X (320,762), Series S (337,811) and Series X Digital Edition (20,854)—as well as the PS5 Pro (221,181).

Sony would rather make "cinematic experiences" and get praise from critics.
Xbox...uh...well, Xbox is dead.

Amazing how little respect he has for his product. No belief in making something he would want to bring into the world, just serve the cheapest goy slop to the trough, market it and they will buy it.
What the fuck is the point!

In truth, the market has changed a bit. If you make a machine that has exclusives that the playerbase buys with consistency, you can make a big profit that way.
Another way to get a potentially larger customer base is to make a service machine that plays every major mulitplat for relatively cheap. This is essentially why Microsoft starting shilling gampass everywhere, and it's why the PC is generally the platform of choice to play the most games in the most novel ways.

The issue is that Sony was going in the service machine route, but it attracts a large audience that dabble in some new software here and there but ultimately use their machines mostly for FIFA, Warzone, and Netflix. That's literally what Sony had to admit in court when suing Microsoft for their Activision acquisition lol.

This. Nips see it as a cultural duty to support japanese companies. Also helps it has japanese pricing. Disney adults would be the closest equivalent.

PS5 will be my last one, Im tired of getting ripped off on steam sales snd no mods. I'll still buy the Switch though for normie friend multiplayer.

The only way I’m getting PS6 is if it offers a form of immersion that no hardware has tried before. I’ not paying $800 to see every crease on Aloy’s lips, or 8K graphics when 8K TVs are obscenely expensive. Graphics have hit the ceiling.

And normally to its strength except the Wii, Sony is the least innovative system.
