Media Create Japan PS4 PlayStation 4 Sales 1

The post-Golden Week slump in Japan is still very real, with little to shout about in this week’s Media Create report. PREY was the “hottest” new release of the week, selling 7,105 units on the PlayStation 4. Danganronpa 1/2 Reload also charted for Sony’s new-gen system, shifting 3,880 units. You’ve got to wonder whether some of these games are worth releasing with these kind of numbers.

Hardware sales remained steady but slim, with the PS4 moving just over 17k units in total, when combining models. As has been the case for a while now, though, it was a slow week for all formats – even the newly released Nintendo Switch seems to be struggling with stock shortages. All of the numbers are below.
