The Asian markets, and the Japanese market, have always been Nintendo's main stronghold through the Switch device. In terms of the number of device and game sales. While Sony Company is the second with the PlayStation 5.

Yes, Nintendo, through its Switch mobile device, dominated the Japanese market for many years, but that is no longer the case. Where the new Sony PlayStation 5 device surpassed it in sales by 38,866 units during the past week, while it sold 38,634 units. Although the difference is minimal, but it happened.

In any case. The reason for this is that the Japanese company managed to sell 3.3 million units in the last three months. Which ended on September 30. They are the same numbers that were recorded during the same period of the previous fiscal year. These numbers according to statistics (via Verge)

This also comes in conjunction with Sony's announcement yesterday that it had surpassed the 25 million-unit global sales milestone for the PlayStation 5 during its latest fiscal year quarterly earnings call.

That puts PlayStation 5 sales at 5.7 million units during the first half of fiscal 2022. It's still far from the target Sony has set of 18 million units by the end of the current fiscal year on March 31, 2023.
