Nintendo Switch Hardware Sales Streak Ends In Japan

Nintendo Switch Hardware Sales Streak Ends In Japan

After many long months, the Nintendo Switch’s sales streak on the Media Create charts has come to an end in Japan.

Between January 8 to January 14, 2018, retailers in Japan sold 37,500 Nintendo Switch consoles, while the PS4 (along with PS4 Pro) moved a combined total of 43,808 units, finally overtaking the Nintendo Switch for the first time in several months.

Despite the slowdown, Nintendo Switch software continues to sell, albeit at a slower rate due to the recent shortage of games. Splatoon 2 (#2), Super Mario Odyssey (#3), and Mario Kart 8 Deluxe (#4) sold 34,632, 28,193, and 22,836 copies respectively, while Pokemon Ultra Sun and Ultra Moon (#5) for Nintendo 3DS shifted 21,494 copies.
