Nintendo Switch has dominated the market with terrifying market share that had never been achieved before in Japan for both software and hardware in January. Meanwhile, scalping problem was still prevalent in January as both next gen consoles' software unable to have any games sold more than 2.6K copies despite selling around 75K hardware in a month.
Nintendo Switch sales momentum isn't going to slow down any time soon as more big games are coming to the system together with exclusive hardware SKU to help the sales momentum.
