Check out the sales numbers below:

  • PlayStation 4 + PlayStation 4 Slim: 6.540.000

  • Nintendo Switch: 6.670.000

 

The Nintendo Switch is now ahead of the PS4 by 130,000 units sold in Japan however it still has not out sold the base PS4 and the PS4 Pro sales combined together yet.

This huge milestone is due to handheld gaming devices selling well in Japan with people there travelling most of the time. For example, the 3DS has sold 24 Million units there!

 

If we have any more information to share we will cover it here at Nintendo Soup so stay tuned for more!
