Share of people who play consoles at home in Japan 2025, by console and age group
In a survey from March 2025 that was conducted among people in Japan, ** percent of respondents aged 15 to 19 years old stated that they play with a Nintendo Switch at home. While the Nintendo Switch was the most commonly used console across age groups, the share of users declined with the increasing age of respondents. The survey also showed that the share of respondents who do not play at all was lower among younger age groups.
