Japan: Nintendo Switch has now outsold Nintendo 3DS

Despite being five years old, the Nintendo Switch family of systems continue to sell well each week in the land of rising sun with Nintendo’s competitors Sony and Microsoft struggling to gain a substantial foothold in the ever changing Japanese gaming market which is dominated by mobile gaming. David Gibson has revealed (via Famitsu) that the Nintendo Switch family has now outsold the Nintendo 3DS. The Nintendo Switch family of systems have sold 24.6 million units so far in Japan surpassing the Nintendo 3DS which took ten years to achieve the same sales figure. However, the ridiculously popular Nintendo DS system shifted 32.86 million, so the Switch has a way to go yet.
