Wow! Both Switch 2 and PS5 DE bump in sales! Congrats on both of them. And 300k+ units a week is insane! Considering Christmas rush should be ended already. And all top 10 best selling games are from Nintendo.

Update: Sorry, this is a 14-day sale, not 7 days.

italiangamer143d ago

A month ago they sold 221.000 Switch 2 in ONE week, and Nintendo still hasn't fully resolved the stock situation in Japan 👁️👄👁️. Imagine after they have fully stocked it.

repsahj143d ago

For comparisons sake. Between january to march 2025, Nintendo stock also dropped below 9k yen.

Neonridr143d ago

313K in 2 weeks.. almost 10x as many PS5s

Japan loves the S2 it seems.

repsahj143d ago

It shows even in games. Nintendo dominate the top 10 best selling games.

Neonridr143d ago

I mean Japan is Nintendo's playground, so no surprise there. Just crazy to think that Japan alone has accounted for nearly 50% of all Switch 2 sales or something

babadivad143d ago (Edited 143d ago )

Because Sony abandoned Japan. The Japanese have a preference for mobile consoles as well.

DivineHand125142d ago

Nintendo is doing more to drive Switch 2 sales in Japan. They have a Japanese only version Switch 2 that cost nearly $200 less than what everyone else pays worldwide.

MayorPauline142d ago

Nintendo caters to the region so Japan rewards them with sales.

#26 Ghost of Yotei - 1,415

Top 30 only game for Sony, even the multiplatform games are not selling there.

dveio142d ago

That's truly something, I agree.

I'd be really interested to read somewhat of a survey or something as to why Japanese gamers don't like to get into the Playstation ecosystem anymore.

I would love to read an assessment from Japanese gamers.

repsahj142d ago

I also wondering why. Is the 7M+ PS5 owners just stop playing?

Japan loves Nintendo slop.

💦💦👅

1Victor142d ago

Nintendo knows its market they know Japanese people are minimalistic and prefer a handheld console than a home console and switch can do both home and handheld 🤷🏿

Not looking good. Hopefully Asha Sharma is able to turn Phil’s disaster around.

dveio39d ago

To me it's still quite remarkable how they can cash-in 5.3bn in revenue in a single quarter, since their hardware is basically dead.

Jingsing39d ago

The stock mark is what makes Microsoft remarkable, They have convinced every institutional and retail investor to just keep piling money into them. Like many big tech giants they are just a big growing pyramid scheme. As long as people keep dropping money into ETF's that cover the market Microsoft will always be liquid. At the same time it is completely stifling innovation and competition. People need to start being more discreet in how they invest their money as it's killing the system.

Tanktopmaster9239d ago

Once they re-evaluate exclusive all will be fine….

S2Killinit39d ago

Riiiiight because people will just flock back to them for one or two games per year.

Jingsing39d ago

15+ years of bad performance is what they call irreparable in business. It is time for them to sell off the assets and get out of entertainment.

Tanktopmaster9239d ago

These declines are on the back of extra revenue received from releasing games like Forza horizon 5 on PlayStation. So I’m being sarcastic here when I said they should go back to exclusives. Killing off a revenue stream from Ps5 sales will only make things worse
