There's really not much to write about when it comes to the latest Japanese sales charts. A total lack of new releases made for an incredibly slow week, with hardware sales dropping across the board (not counting the Xbox One X shifting an astonishing 15 units more than it did last time out).
PlayStation 4 and PS4 Pro numbers were almost cut in half, but at least God of War remains in the software top ten. It's now very close to breaking through 100,000 copies sold in Japan.

Hardware sales in Japan tend to be weirdly consistent, everything drops by half, everything doubles. It's like every other week every store is having a huge sale or every store is closed for some holiday.
They were bored last week though if they were buying robot Labo. That's fallen off the charts, if it was ever even on the charts, everywhere else.
So what's the next banger that will boost PS4 sales?
Always a slow one directly after Golden Week.
And 1-2 Switch is still selling...
Calling it the Japanese dont have taste.
@Turismo4GT Kingdom Hearts 3
All joking aside is it even worth the investment by X-box in that market with those numbers? I mean Microsoft can afford a loss I know but still...
so basically you either playing new games on a PS4 or playing old games on the Switch.
