A Japan-exclusive new bundle for the "Nintendo Switch 2," announced by Nintendo on October 6, 2026, dominated today's gaming hardware headlines. The expanded lineup of new console models highlights Nintendo's push ahead of the year-end holiday season.
Sony, however, is not standing still. On October 1, PlayStation announced new system improvements for the PS5, including an AI-powered upscaling feature, and made its presence felt alongside a busy lineup of fall releases. Activity in the peripherals market is also picking up. Razer drew the attention of Japanese gamers with its "Wolverine V4" series, while ASUS ROG made headlines with its appearance at Tokyo Game Show 2026 and a 20th anniversary model released on October 5. Logitech G is also making its mark, with the "PRO X3 SUPERSTRIKE" scheduled for release on October 15 drawing attention from core gamers in Japan. Among domestic brands, HORI maintains a strong presence with its Switch 2-compatible accessories and controllers, while Mizuno and ASICS drew interest with product announcements in the area where sports and gaming intersect. In the PC components sector, GIGABYTE AORUS and MSI have joined the autumn market with new information on motherboards and graphics cards.
Overall, the picture is becoming clear: centered on the announcement race surrounding Nintendo and Sony's new hardware, peripheral and PC component makers are competing for visibility in the wake of Tokyo Game Show 2026. Japan's video game console market is heating up even further as the year-end approaches.
