Japan: FIFA 18 officially overtakes sales on PS4 | Nintendo Switch News | NintendoReporters

 [![Japan: FIFA 18  officially overtakes sales on PS4](https://www.nintendoreporters.com/storage/files/japan-fifa-18-officially-overtakes-sales-on-ps4.jpg "Japan: FIFA 18  officially overtakes sales on PS4")](https://www.nintendoreporters.com/storage/files/japan-fifa-18-officially-overtakes-sales-on-ps4.jpg)FIFA 18 has been dominating on the PlayStation 4 and Xbox One here in the west, but in Japan it’s a totally different story.

The Nintendo Switch version of the football title has proved to be more popular on the Nintendo Switch in Japan.

The PlayStation 4 version of FIFA 18 has sold 77,892 copies since launch and the Switch version sold 89,329 copies.

## [](#reasons)Reasons?

Really we can not actually say. Portability seems a logic one of course. But does it perhaps even signal a trend in appreciation of the Nintendo Switch?

But also in the west EA has noted that the sales for FIFA are also impressive as [we noted before](https://www.nintendoreporters.com/en/news/nintendoswitch/france-fifa-18-sold-73k-and-ea-is-satisfied/). Let’s hope that it will make EA consider more of it’s core library for the system.

Have you played FIFA 18 on the Nintendo Switch and how did you like it?
