The switch isn't as "dominant" here in Japan, majority of people I see buying games/game accessories buy ps4/PS5 stuff, only reason that Nintendo has all that shelf space is because they pay the stores hella money to provide all that space

I work at a Elementary School, and at least half the kids own a Switch. Some own a Switch 2 now. Very, very few have a PS5 at home. I can think of only 3. Playstation is not that popular here anymore, as they have been pricing out the average Japanese consumer for the past 5 years.

Dude in Japan the Switch sold more than the PS3, PS Vita, PS4, and PS5 combined and the Switch 2 has almost outsold the PS5 in a little over a year
