Kaz Ps4 Top Spot

The PlayStation 4's still doing moderately well in Japan, despite the fact that it's finally been knocked from its perch at the summit by the Wii U, presumably because of several strong software releases on Nintendo's platform. Fortunately for Sony, its console still sold 19,782 units, which isn't a huge drop in sales from the week prior.

Things are looking grim on the software side of things, though, as only three PS4 titles made it into the top 20. Dying Light sank its rotting claws into 14th, Tropico 5 continued its reign in 19th, and Hyperdimension Neptunia Victory II held the rear in 20th. Meanwhile, Vita sales remain steady, with the handheld system boasting numerous top 20 releases.

Will the PS4 reclaim its top spot, or do you think that it'll slowly slide away? Browse the full charts, and give us your analysis in the comments section below.
