As expected, PlayStation 4 numbers have taken a tumble now that the holiday season is over, with sales falling back to a rather standard 36,559 units for last week. Still, we suppose it could be worse, as there's currently a real lack of new software releases in Japan.

Speaking of which, it's nice to see Fallout 4 hanging on in the top ten - Bethesda's role-playing game has sold a respectable 188,877 copies in the Land of the Rising Sun. Elsewhere, it's very much business as usual, with Nintendo exclusive titles leading the pack. We certainly wouldn't expect too many surprises until we move further into 2016.
