Famitsu Sales: 9/7/26 – 9/13/26
Covered by 2 sources · 2 articles
Japan's hardware market during the week of September 7-13 remained dominated by Switch 2, which sold over 28,000 units and continued its strong debut momentum. The PS5 Digital Edition trailed significantly with around 7,000 sales, while Nintendo's older Switch models saw considerably lower demand - the Lite, OLED, and original Switch combined for under 7,000 units. Other platforms, including PS5 Pro, standard PS5, and Xbox hardware, registered minimal volume.
The data underscores Switch 2's commanding early performance in Japan's home market, though the sharp drop-off beyond Nintendo's newest hardware suggests limited consumer interest in competing platforms or aging Nintendo inventory.
- Switch 2 dominated with 28,341 units sold, dwarfing the PS5 Digital Edition's 7,082.
- Older Switch models and non-Nintendo hardware saw negligible sales, with Xbox struggling below 150 units combined.
- PS5 Pro and base PS5 registered in the low hundreds, indicating minimal traction against Switch 2's momentum.
Nintendo's installed base consolidation around Switch 2 signals a potential generational transition that could reshape Japan's software landscape for the next several years.
