Bad news if you thought the Japanese sales charts were about to get interesting, because for the millionth week running, there's bugger all happening as far as PlayStation's concerned. There are no new PlayStation 4 releases in the top 20, with Tekken 7 the only current-gen release remaining in the top five. Bandai Namco's brawler is very slowly creeping towards 100,000 copies sold.
As for the PS4 itself, Sony's console saw a slight bump in sales, but until the system's next big release is upon us (read: Dragon Quest XI), we're not going to have much to write about.

Xbox moved up 2 spots from 10 to 8, MS is going to start thinking X1X will sell there.
I'm going to go out on a limb and say Wii U never ever had the top 3 games on that list. Maybe never even 2 of the top 3 at once. Switch can't be stopped. Well at least not until PS4 gets some new games.
I think the real story here is how ARMS, a new IP, sold more on launch week on a significantly smaller system than Tekken 7 and SFV.
Oh, and Robert is moaning about Japan again. We got bigger problems! Its too damn hot!
No doubt they're all awaiting the new Monster Hunter.
@BLP_Software More to do with Japanese Nintendo fans buying anything for the Switch right now tbh
Nice to see Japanese supporting a new IP. And Switch doubling PS4 sales despite shortages.

" but until the system's next big release is upon us (read: Dragon Quest XI), we're not going to have much to write about."
Let's be frank, for every copy of Dragon Quest XI sold on PS4, there will be at least 4-5 copies sold on 3DS.
@rjejr At least they did beat a 11 years old console that is not produced anymore.
Japan, the only place where portables rule.
ARMS sold more than Tekken 7 and SFV's first week sales combined....O_O
Wow. Great numbers for ARMS. Ps4 need to get some more japanese like games released
@Flaming_Kaiser We're #8! We're #8!!
And it's funny how the week of E3 when they announce X1X that X1S sales nearly double. It's like the dozens of people in Japan waiting for Scorpio said " $500?!?, Nah, I'll just buy an 1S now instead, thanks."
@rjejr Lol its kinda painfull. I see Phil at the gamescon our sales doubled in Japan.
