Nintendo dominates the Japanese video game market and has for some time, but Sony continues to make progress with the PS5, and things are gradually improving for the console there.
A more affordable PS5 model was released in Japan late last year, offering support for the Japanese language only. It has quickly become a hit, with sales steadily increasing in recent weeks.
Famitsu reports (via Gematsu) that total PS5 sales reached 46,753 units during this period.
By comparison, Switch 1 models totalled 46,360, so PS5 outsold it by just a hair.
While these sales figures haven’t significantly impacted Nintendo’s leading position in the market, it’s encouraging to see an upward trend.
Here’s the full rundown of hardware sales over the last two weeks:
- Switch 2 – 313,838 (4,097,905)
- Switch Lite – 18,460 (6,822,925)
