News Japanese Sales Charts: PS4 Numbers Remain Reasonable as Uncharted Climbs High
Hanging on in there
There's a cheeky little grin on Nathan Drake's face right now as his Uncharted Collection almost scrambled to the summit of last week's Japanese software charts. The PlayStation 4 exclusive leapt into third place selling through 24,867 copies, which isn't too bad. Meanwhile, FIFA 16's launch in the Land of the Rising Sun saw it...
News Japanese Sales Charts: PS4 Numbers Rocket as Price Drop Hits
That's more like it
After two weeks of selling next to nothing, the PlayStation 4 is finally back on top of the Japanese charts following its very recent price cut. Sony's home console shifted a very respectable 46,177 units last week, and with any luck, the company will be hoping that the price reduction will have a continuous impact as we move...
News Japanese Sales Charts: Vita Remains Viable As PS4 Prepares Itself for Rebirth
Calm before the storm
The PlayStation 4's taken another tumble as its Japanese price drop nears, selling through just over 4000 units. Sony's newest console should see something of a rebirth once the cut hits early next month, but it remains to be seen whether or not the price drop will have a lasting positive effect on sales without any blockbuster...
News Japanese Sales Charts: PS4 Numbers Hit New Low as Price Drop Nears
All in good time
The PlayStation 4's been ticking along in its native Japan for some time, but it rarely racks up any amazing numbers unless a slew of big new-gen games all launch within a few weeks of each other. Last week's belated figures make for some rather dire reading, then, as Sony's latest box managed to hit its lowest total in months. The...
News Japanese Sales Charts: Metal Gear Solid V Brings PS4 Its Best Numbers in Months
Sneaking to success
Wow, who knew that big games sell consoles? After weeks of incredibly dreary Japanese sales charts reading, the PlayStation 4 has finally jumped back up to respectable numbers. With the release of Metal Gear Solid V: The Phantom Pain, the new-gen system leapt to the top of the hardware charts with sales of 54,494 units. Hideo...
News Japanese Sales Charts: Until Dawn and Dragon's Dogma Online Give Us Something to Write About
New titles boost PS4 sales
After what seems like weeks of being unable to write about anything remotely interesting happening in the Japanese sales charts, fresh releases have finally hit PlayStation platforms. Choose-your-own-horror Until Dawn slashed its way into sixth place in the software charts, selling 17,472 copies, while the highly...
News Japanese Sales Charts: PS4 and Vita Enjoy a Small Sales Boost
But not much else
It's another reasonably boring report on the latest Japanese sales charts this week we're afraid. With literally no new PlayStation releases to speak of in the top 20, the software charts are drearier than ever, but funnily enough, Sony's platforms have actually enjoyed a small boost in shifted units. The PlayStation 4 sold...
News Japanese Sales Charts: The PS4 Is Stuck in a Real Rut
Sales are down once again
We'd recommend getting used to how these charts look, because the PlayStation 4's going nowhere in Japan as long as there's a distinct lack of exclusive software hitting Sony's latest home console. The new-gen machine tallied up sales of just 14,619 units last week. You can compare the prior week's sales charts through...
News Japanese Sales Charts: Nothing to See Here, Go Back to Gamescom News
Off you go
Imagine writing a story about the Japanese hardware and software charts on a day when every game under the sun is getting Gamescom 2015 coverage. An atrocious process for all those involved, we're sure that you'll agree, but we do this every week, so we suppose that we're bound by duty. So, what's happening in Japan? The answer: bugger...
News Japanese Sales Charts: PS4 Sales Dip as New Games Sell Better on PS3
The cycle continues
It's been said about a million times by now, but we'll say it again: the PlayStation 3 is one of the main reasons why the PlayStation 4 is unable to keep a solid foothold in the Japanese market. While Sony's last-gen console has almost tumbled out of existence here in the West, the Japanese are still buying most of their software...
News Japanese Sales Charts: Batman Swoops In to Save the Day for PS4
Victory from the shadows
Well would you look at that - the PlayStation 4's back on top in Japan. Granted, the actual numbers aren't that great, but it just goes to show that with the right software, Sony's latest console still has a chance of seeing growth in The Land of the Rising Sun. The new-gen machine racked up 24,266 sales last week, which is...
News Japanese Sales Charts: PlayStation's Road to Nowhere Continues
Behold and despair
Unless something changes dramatically over the next few weeks, we're not really sure how we'll be able to keep these articles at least somewhat interesting. Sony's Japanese campaign continues to drag at a despairing rate, with both PlayStation 4 and Vita sales dipping once again last week. You can compare the prior week's...
News Japanese Sales Charts: PS Vita and Persona 4 Dancing All Night Take a Tumble
Murder on the dance floor
After a brief stint at the top, the Vita's fallen down the Japanese charts along with heavy hitting exclusive Persona 4 Dancing All Night. Sony's handheld device sold through just 14,067 units last week, while the aforementioned dance-'em-up went from selling 94,036 copies in its first week to 13,028 in its second - that's...
News Japanese Sales Charts: Persona 4 Dancing All Night Helps Vita Boogie to Victory
Beary good
There's finally some moderately good news for PlayStation in Japan, as Sony's sleek little handheld has grooved to the top of the hardware charts thanks to the release of Vita exclusive, Persona 4 Dancing All Night. The portable console sold through 23,134 units last week, which is close to double the amount that it sold in the week...
News Japanese Sales Charts: The Witcher 3 Holds Its Ground as PS4 Sinks Deeper
Sigh
We're going to be honest here: we really can't pad this article out with any kind of flair. Once again, the Japanese charts make for some reasonably depressing reading, as the PlayStation 4's sales continue to drop. Last week, Sony's latest sold just 11,763 units, and only three PS4 titles made it into the top 20. You can compare the prior...
News Japanese Sales Charts: The Witcher 3 Sticks to the Top 5 as PS4 Sales Continue to Drag
The hunt continues
It was another rather dismal seven day period for console sales in Japan last week. PlayStation 4 sales jumped ever so slightly, while the PS Vita hopped above its home system sibling into second place, selling through 12,517 units. As for software, The Witcher 3: Wild Hunt was pushed from the top spot by a certain Nintendo...
News Japanese Sales Charts: Console Sales Remain Pretty Terrible, But Witcher 3 PS4 Takes Top Spot
Get in, Geralt
The old saying goes that things will get worse before they get better, and that's hopefully what's happening with Japan's hardware market. Once again, last week was pretty dismal for hardware sales, as not a single console made it past the 20,000 mark. The PlayStation 4 saw a slight increase, jumping from 11,489 to 12,096 units, but...
