The latest Media Creates data is out and the Nintendo Switch has sold 269, 684 units in Japan just the last week, more than 5 times more than it’s closest competitor, the PlayStation 4, which sold 50, 662 units.

But more importantly, the Nintendo Switch is possibly the fastest selling home console in Japan, besting even the most popular console in Japan, the PlayStation 2’s first year of sales. As hypothesised from last week’s data, it was only predicted that the Nintendo Switch was going to do better than the best sold console in history’s first year. Now it is confirmed.

Here is the updated table:

Month PS2 (Released 4 March 2000) Nintendo Switch (Released 3 March 2017 March 885,023 Units 524,371 Units April 512,953 Units 234,817 Units May 227,725 Units 127,314 Units June 298,880 Units 129,971 Units July 367,190 Units 294,311 Units August 223,822 Units 254,489 Units September 157,613 Units 168,810 Units October 116,440 Units 307,138 Units November 62,025 Units 372,619 Units December 164,950 Units 844,243 Units (For First 4 Weeks) Total 3,016,622 Units 3,258,083 Units (From Launch to 24 December 2017)

The Nintendo Switch did exceptionally well this week thanks to frequent restocks, even Amazon Japan received quite a number of Nintendo Switch consoles. Looks like the Nintendo Switch shortage may really be over soon.
