Every single week, we bring you the Japanese hardware and software sales. Those numbers come from Media-Create, as they track game sales across the country. Now Media-Create co-founder Atsushi Hosokawa has stepped away from sales reports for a moment to make some predictions.

Mr. Hosokawa talked to Bloomberg about the game industry in Japan for this year, and he foresees it being a good year for the Switch. Mr. Hosokawa expects the platform to achieve growth in its third year, and believes the platform will have a life-cycle of seven years.
