How long will it take for it to pass the PS4 in Japan?
Probably Summer of next year. Depends on how well strong JP titles like MHW and KH3 do for PS4 there.
Here we go (off the rails :p), 4 million by the end of the year. :)
Lol, only about 1.3M away from surpassing Wii U. And PS5 just passed 5M. I think Switch will hit that mark easy by this time next year. Especially if Pokemon or Animal Crossing come out next year.
I say this time next year it'll probably pass PS4 or be in striking distance. I expect when Pokémon launches that will the nail in the coffin.
