The Japanese gaming market has witnessed a major change over the past years, with a greater trend towards mobile phones and at the expense of regular home gaming devices, which has helped Nintendo to impose its dominance in this market.
According to a Famitsu Network report, the Nintendo Switch swept the Japanese market last year. Well, this year is the 19th in a row in which Nintendo devices topped the list of device sales. The Sony PSP was the last non-Nintendo device to top device sales during a year, and that was 19 years ago. Yes, specifically in the year 2004.
