>it took PS4 46 weeks to sell 1 million units in Japan >Switch

>>382289768
Damn that's impressive. How long did the PS4 take to sell 1 million in the US? I bet it was like two years or something haha

>>382289768
idk man im still waiting till more games are out till i decide to buy it. Hope it doesnt fail. so far the no games meme is worse on the switch but at least they are doing something about it quicker than ps4 did. But at least PS4 had third party games for the normies.

>>382289768
>BOTW and MK8 have sold ~500k copies each in Japan
>Splatoon 2 has ~700k preorders in Japan
It's only the beginning

>>382289768
They're actually going to save the Japanese market from going full mobile.

>>382290031

There has been a game drought for sure. Once Splatoon launches though everything really picks up. Good games coming every month.

>>382290040
>Splatoon 2 has ~700k preorders in Japan

holy shit

>>382290114
>a portable is going to us from mobile
wew

>>382289868
It hasn't even broken a million yet, apparently.

>>382290689
The best outcome since its naturally lower spec than regular consoles and so there isn't as much of focus on graphics thus reducing production costs.

>>382289868
SEETHING

>>382289868
Switch sold 900k in a day in the US.

Wow, it's literally nothing.

Whereas in countries that actually matter, this is happening

My favorite thing about Switch threads is how many retards say "Of course ______ sold well, there's nothing else to play!!"

At what point do you stop saying that?

>>382291041

Lol, no it didn't.

It took 25 days to sell 905,000 whereas the PS4 sold 1 million in 1 day

Even the Xbox One sold 1 million in 1 week

>the Wiiu outsold the PS4 in Japan for over 2 years
>Wiiu only sold 13 million consoles worldwide
>the PS4 has sold 60 million....so far


And your point is?
Japan is irrelevant in terms of sales. Just check the 360 and Xbone both as proof.
>360 probably sold under 600k consoles in Japan
>sold over 85 million worldwide
>more than every Nintendo home console besides the Wii

>Xbone has also sold under 300k in Japan
>sits at 30 million worldwide
>double the Wiiu
>more than the GC
>closing in on the N64

Who gives a fuck about Japan sales numbers?

>Hardware: $147 million (up 7 percent from $138 million)
>Difference is 9 million
>"Nintendo Switch continues to be the primary catalyst for hardware spending gains, as it has since launching in March 2017." (from NPD Analyst)
>9 million divided by Switch's $300 price tag is only 30,000
>Switch sells 22-24K a week in Japan.
>Using Japan numbers, monthly sales would be 88K
>88K times 300 is $26.4 million
>Hardware sales WITHOUT Switch would be $120.6 million. A 12.6 percent decline
>PS4 sales are down Year over Year
>Actual results would be worse as Switch sales in Japan are 20 percent of total. US sales are 40-50 percent

The ignorance from Sonylooneys is astounding.
>say that Japan is a negligible market for vidya
>shitpost with Monster Hunter World not on Nintendo
>when the reason why MH was big in the first place and sold millions was because of Japan
>b-but MHW is targeted towards the west!
Doesn't mean Japan will buy it by the buttload, PS4 ain't really that big over there now.

>>382293385
Was pointing out that Japan isn't important to the success of a console. The Wiiu was success in Japan, what good did that do in the long run? Meanwhile the Xbone and 360 both flopped in japland, but the 360 sold better than every Nintendo home console but the Wii.
Making a point that selling well or not selling well in Japan hardly matters. Western sales numbers will decide the fate of the Switch, not Japan.

lol.

>>382293695
They were literally doing this while the PS4 was raping the Wiiu. Posting weekly Japanese sales numbers while ignoring the rest of the world. Then the PS4 pasted the Wiiu in Japan, and those sales threads completely stopped.

>>382294151
>Western sales numbers will decide the fate of the Switch, not Japan.
Wrong. Japanese sales numbers will decide the fate of the Switch.
The typical Japanese business model is to build a loyal fanbase before anything else. That's why even though AKB48 is old and busted they still top Oricon sales charts. That's why Babymetal is still getting invited to events outside Japan despite not having an new album the last 2 years. That's why Nintendo is still making money despite losing on the Wii U, because Japan bought it.

>>382294160
>yet they keep counting Mario Kart, Zelda, Shovel Knight and all Switch multiplats

They only count when people want them to.

Japan IS negligible.
It USED to be important before games became mainstream.

In fact, there has never been a point in the ENTIRE HISTORY OF VIDEO GAMES where USA wasn't the largest share of the market.

So, yes, Japan is far LESS important than America.

>>382294487
You are a moron.
>he thinks anyone at Nintendo considers the Wiiu a success
They considered the GC a faliure...their own words. And the Wiiu sold 10 million less than the GC.

>>382294043
>mfw sonydarkies think that the Nips will change their lifestyle to play MH at home when their culture revolves around public commuting and get togethers

You, all of you massive fucking faggots that defend companies for free are the reason /v/ has become what it is now, you people are the lower kind of trash, even below waifufaggots, you miserable beings

>>382294667
This includes mobile games, so it's not fucking relevant to this discussion of fucking game consoles.

Japan is by and large the smallest of the three world markets.

>>382294701
>putting words in my mouth
Pick up some reading comprehension on your way to the mental hospital. Never said anything about it being a success, I said the west wouldn't decide the sales numbers of a Nintendo console.

Considering the GC and the Wii U as failures does nothing to discount my argument.

>>382294037
>this was during November. Nintendo is doing this in fucking March
People is more poor in march or what?

>>382295374
For some reason or another, console sales numbers increase a great deal from November to December. Can't quite put my finger on why.

>>382294667
>>382294681
You two are fucking retards.

Japan is still a big chunk despite its shrinking market in gaming. That's why franchises like Dragon Quest, Monster Hunter, Yokai Watch and the like aren't cancelled despite not making it in glorious murrica.

Here, come closer, I'll tell you a secret: IT'S BECAUSE THEY'RE KILLING IT IN ONE OF THE LARGEST GAMING MARKETS IN THE WORLD. IT'S A MONEY STREAM THAT DOESN'T DEPEND ON HUMONGOUS VIRAL MARKETING BUT A LOYAL FANBASE.

Try supporting one of your local teams in a pro sports league. You'll understand why shit franchises like the Detroit Lions aren't dead despite having no success for the past 50 years.

>>382295463
I think it's because of Kwanza. Those blacks are very prosperous and generous people

>>382294823
When talking about the three markets, we're comparing a small island nation to a massive continent and about every other country of note combined. I think that in itself speaks to Japan's significance in the video game industry.

Can't wait to play Fire Emblem on my PS4.
