Wow that's insane! The Switch must be getting close to outselling the PS4 in Japan.
It is, it already crossed the 6 million mark according to Media Create.
Any idea what the PS4 is currently at? Somewhere between 6 and 7 I think
More than 7 million according to vgchartz.
Oh the Switch probably won't overtake it until early to mid 2019 then.
I'm still waiting for those NPD numbers. If Smash is smashing records in Japan like this, I can't wait to see North America.
Can you actually imagine 1 in every 100 people around you buying a copy? :O
Heaven. 4 to 8 player battles every day.
I'm now REALLY interested in what the MC numbers are.
