Switch sales plummet, but still dominate in Japan's post holiday chart

As the Switch motors into the third year of its life, the seasonal sales come to a halt with a bump as the Nintendo heartthrob console shed 120K sales last week, back to the more usual 78K territory.

That's still 75% of the Japanese market according to the latest Media Create data, probably helped by the arrival of New Super Mario Bros U Deluxe, which sold 166K units on its relaunch for Switch, and puts three Mario games in the Media Create top 10.

It might take another hit next week as Resident Evil 2 takes to the other consoles, I wonder how long this sales dominance will force the likes of Capcom to get a port over and Namco to work on the likes of Ace Combat 7 for Switch?
