It has been 24 weeks since the Nintendo Switch launched in Japan and the entire world. The hybrid console has sold over 1 million units thanks to Splatoon 2 and a lineup of big hits in recent months.

Besides beating Nintendo’s own expectations, the Nintendo Switch has been beating its other home console rival, the PS4, really badly. A quick analysis shows Nintendo Switch sales in Japan have outpaced the PS4 by 2 to 1.

In its first 6 months, the Nintendo Switch sold a cumulative total of 1,436,031 units. On the other hand, the PS4 only managed to move 653,377 units during its first 6 months. This means the Nintendo Switch has sold more than double the units PS4 did in the same duration of time!

Here’s a look at how each console has sold in their first 24 weeks.

Switch PS4 Week 1 329,152 309,154 Week 2 61,998 65,685 Week 3 49,913 35,294 Week 4 78,441 29,677 Week 5 45,509 30,201 Week 6 41,193 23,327 Week 7 45,673 13,401 Week 8 48,694 13,034 Week 9 76,679 14,396 Week 10 47,911 12,712 Week 11 24,712 11,486 Week 12 26,114 8,480 Week 13 27,146 6,792 Week 14 23,524 7,543 Week 15 27,291 6,508 Week 16 37,709 9,466 Week 17 22,361 8,395 Week 18 25,805 7,009 Week 19 26,256 8,059 Week 20 31,906 7,876 Week 21 98,999 7,150 Week 22 89,314 6,456 Week 23 61,933 5,581 Week 24 87,798 5,695 Total 1,436,031 653,377

If Nintendo is able to deliver at least 80,000 units weekly to the Japanese market, there’s a high possibility the Nintendo Switch would cross 3 million units sold in Japan alone. All Nintendo needs to do is to fix the shortage before the end of this year.
