Famitsu Sales: 9/21/26 – 9/27/27

Covered by 2 sources · 2 articles

Japan's hardware market continued to be dominated by Switch 2 during the final week of September, with the console shifting over 32,000 units according to Famitsu data. The PS5 Digital Edition remained a distant second with roughly 9,500 sales, while the original Switch hardware across its various iterations - OLED, Lite, and base model - collectively trailed significantly. Newer PlayStation hardware like the PS5 Pro and standard PS5 saw minimal movement, and Xbox platforms registered negligible numbers in the region.

The gap between Switch 2 and its nearest competitor underscores Nintendo's continued stronghold in Japan's console market, particularly with a new generation console still in its momentum phase.

TL;DR
Why it matters

Nintendo's dominance in Japan remains structural; a full console generation shift away from PlayStation is now evident in weekly retail data.
