News Japanese Sales Charts: Gundam Breaks into the Top Spot as PS4 and Vita Lead the Way
Meching up the numbers
Ah, nothing like a good Gundam game to shake up the Japanese hardware and software charts, eh? Gundam Breaker 3 blasted into first and second place on PlayStation 4 and Vita respectively, selling through a reasonably impressive 141,219 copies in total - now we just need to hope that the mech-'em-up has found enough success to...
News Japanese Sales Charts: Unimpressive Software Numbers Can't Stop PS4
Sony sticks to the top
There's not really too much to say about the latest Japanese hardware and software charts, but we'll be damned if we're going to miss out on this weekly article. Starting on the software side of things, the top 20 was bombarded by the new Kamen Rider game, which is available on PlayStation 4, PlayStation 3, and Vita, but...
News Japanese Sales Charts: Street Fighter V Falls Short on PS4
Not quite a knockout
We're afraid that it's yet more disappointing news for Street Fighter V, as its opening Japanese sales figures are in. We already know that the brawler hasn't done especially well here in the UK, and it turns out that it hasn't quite set Japan alight, either. Capcom's latest sold through 41,990 copies on PlayStation 4, which...
News Japanese Sales Charts: Valkyria Chronicles Remastered Rolls into the Charts on PS4
Tanks very much
Last week was pretty quiet for new releases in the Land of the Rising Sun, with the likes of Dragon Quest Builders and Naruto Shippuden: Ultimate Ninja Storm 4 still hanging around in the software top ten. There was one new PlayStation entry worthy of note, however: Valkyria Chronicles Remastered. The remastered edition of the PS3...
News Japanese Sales Charts: Naruto Storms to the Top Alongside PS4
Dragon Quest Builders also staying strong
The PlayStation 4 has had another reasonably solid week in Japan, with Sony's latest console shifting 31,158 units - enough to ensure its place at the top of the charts. Sales did see a slight decline compared to the week prior, but that's to be expected seeing as juggernaut release Dragon Quest Builders...
News Japanese Sales Charts: Dragon Quest Builders Demolishes the Competition on PS4, Vita
Dragon Quest does it again
We've always known that Dragon Quest Builders would be a huge deal in its native Japan. Anything to do with Square Enix's now legendary role-playing series tends to sell ridiculously well in the Land of the Rising Sun, and this latest spin-off is no different. The Vita version of the title topped the software charts,...
News Japanese Sales Charts: Yakuza: Kiwami Goes on a Rampage at the Top
The dragon's back in town
The Yakuza franchise has always been huge in its native Japan, so it's no real surprise to find that Yakuza: Kiwami - a remake of the PlayStation 2 original - has smashed its way right to the top of the software charts. The re-imagining of Kazuma Kiryu's initial adventure racked up sales of 103,256 copies on PlayStation 4,...
News Japanese Sales Charts: Odin Sphere Claims the Top Spots on PS4 and Vita
Sphere of influence
Atlus should be reasonably happy with Odin Sphere: Leifthrasir's initial performance in Japan, as the gorgeous action role-playing game took first and second place on the software charts. The Vita version climbed highest, selling through 43,394 copies, while the PlayStation 4 release barely missed out on the top spot, selling...
News Japanese Sales Charts: PS4 Slips Following Decent Holiday Sales
Sales, sales never change
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...
News Japanese Sales Charts: PS4 and Vita Continue Strong Seasonal Performance
Brothers in arms
The latest sales charts from the East are in, confirming that the last seven days have once again been pretty darn solid for the Japanese market. As expected of the season, hardware figures continued to enjoy a healthy boost, as PlayStation 4 sales increased to 65,427 units, while Vita managed a very respectable 63,811 units...
News Japanese Sales Charts: Gravity Rush Features as PS4 and Vita Enjoy Holiday Bump
Mixed up world
Nintendo enjoyed its usual seasonal boost in the latest Media Create report, with both the Wii U and 3DS dominating the Japanese hardware and software charts. Despite this, it was a good week for the PlayStation 4 and Vita, with both systems selling over 35,000 units apiece. Gravity Rush Remastered was the headline new release,...
News Japanese Sales Charts: PS4 Numbers Jump as the Holidays Draw Near
Let it snow
The PlayStation 4 saw a relatively strong sales surge last week in Japan, as numbers jumped from 26,598 to 35,782. An increase of around 10,000 units, it's no doubt a welcome sight for Sony as we approach the holidays. It's worth mentioning that the Vita also enjoyed a sales boost, racking up a respectable figure of 21,860. Meanwhile,...
News Japanese Sales Charts: PS4 Holds Steady Despite Lack of New Software
Sony stays solid
We're not kidding this time around: there really isn't anything to write about when it comes to the most recent Japanese sales charts - at least, not from a PlayStation perspective. Sony's latest console managed to stick around the 25,000-30,000 mark last week, despite a lack of fresh software. Sure, 26,598 isn't a particularly...
News Japanese Sales Charts: Star Wars Battlefront Explodes onto the Scene and Boosts PS4
The force is strong, etc.
The PlayStation 4 is finally holding steady in Japan, with last week's sales hitting a total of 29,052 units. It was helped, of course, by a very successful Star Wars Battlefront launch, which saw the blockbuster release sell through 123,908 copies - more than enough to put it at the top of the software charts. Meanwhile,...
News Japanese Sales Charts: PS4 and Black Ops III Reign Supreme
PS4 crosses two million milestone
Call of Duty: Black Ops III enjoyed its second week at the top of the Japanese software charts according to the latest Media Create numbers. Proving that the shooter really does have worldwide appeal, the blast-'em-up sold through 43,629 copies in the last seven days, boosting total sales to a relatively impressive...
News Japanese Sales Charts: PS4 Gets a Boost as Black Ops 3 Blasts to the Top
Explosive
Most Western titles barely manage to register in the Japanese software charts, but that hasn't been the case for Call of Duty in quite some time. The latest blockbuster in Activision's colossal first-person franchise, Call of Duty: Black Ops III, entered the charts in first place, selling through an impressive 143,817 copies on PlayStation...
News Japanese Sales Charts: PS4 Seems to Have Found a Bit of Stability at the Top
And we're not talking firmware
Yes, the PlayStation 4's numbers have dropped, but not by much. Sony's latest console shifted 22,104 units last week, which is down just 800 from prior figures - not a bad result considering that the machine's been steadily slipping back to its pre-price cut sales until now. The Japanese company will probably be hoping...
News Japanese Sales Charts: Even with Declining Numbers, PS4 Manages to Stay at the Top
Not-so-steady ground
It's a bit of a hollow victory for the PlayStation 4 in the most recent Japanese hardware charts. Sony's new-gen machine is still sitting pretty at the top, but its numbers continue to fall away without the support of any big software releases. The console's managing to stay above the hallowed 20,000 mark, but it seems as though...
News Japanese Sales Charts: PS4 Starts Slipping to Pre-Price Cut Numbers
Get a grip
The latest Japanese sales numbers are a pretty good indicator of the country's current console climate. The PlayStation 4's price drop saw sales rocket for a week, and ever since, they've been slowly declining. It's all very reminiscent of the boom that usually coincides with a new blockbuster game release, which makes one thing clear:...
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: PS4 Numbers Drop Like a Rock Just Two Weeks After Metal Gear Solid V
Falling without style
Well, there goes that. At this point, it's abundantly clear that the PlayStation 4 is currently incapable of maintaining any kind of momentum in its homeland, as Sony's latest console saw its sales plummet by around 35,000 units. The new-gen machine saw a boost in popularity following the launch of Metal Gear Solid V: 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: PS4 Sales Keep Dropping While Software Stagnates
The Witcher 3's still in there, though
Despite The Witcher 3: Wild Hunt's admirable efforts to stick in the top 10, PlayStation 4 unit sales have fallen yet again. Sony's newest console only managed to shift 10,822 units last week, but to be fair, the hardware charts make for generally depressing reading overall. You can compare the prior week's...
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...
News Japanese Sales Charts: PS4, Vita Flounder as Final Fantasy Tops
Depression quest
Well, the hangover from Golden Week makes for particularly dire reading in this week's Japanese sales charts. As has been the case a lot lately, the PlayStation 4 was top of the hardware charts – though the Nintendo 3DS beat it comfortably if you combine its various models – but the numbers were disappointing across the board...
News Japanese Sales Charts: Vita Overtakes PS4 as Not a Single New-Gen Title Enters Top 20
Ouch
The PlayStation 4's steadily slipping down the Japanese charts, as it suffered another sales drop last week. Sony's latest console shifted 15,992 units as it fell into third place, behind the New 3DS LL and the PS Vita. The latter continues to escape store shelves at a solid rate, though, selling through 17,273 units. You can compare the...
News Japanese Sales Charts: PS4 Is Finally Knocked from Top Spot
Not too much of a fall, though
The PlayStation 4's still doing moderately well in Japan, despite the fact that it's finally been knocked from its perch at the summit by the Wii U, presumably because of several strong software releases on Nintendo's platform. Fortunately for Sony, its console still sold 19,782 units, which isn't a huge drop in sales...
News Japanese Sales Charts: Hyperdimension Neptunia Gives PS4 a Lift
Flying high
Ever since its stunning March lineup concluded, the PlayStation 4 has been slowly sliding down the Japanese sales charts – but it's enjoyed a lift this week, courtesy of Hyperdimension Neptunia Victory II. In truth, the Compile Heart sequel only sold 22,609 copies – but it was enough to boost sales of Sony's new-gen system up from...
News Japanese Sales Charts: PS4 Manages to Cling to the Top Spot Despite Another Drop
Hangin' on in there
Despite the fact that we thought the PlayStation 4 would finally be knocked from its perch at the top last week, Sony's sleek home console actually managed to seize another victory, even though sales have slipped again, this time by around 2000 units. Of course, this is still only possible because of the fact that New 3DS numbers...
News Japanese Sales Charts: PS4 Endures Another Hefty Slip, But Still Comes Out on Top
Technically, at least
Yep, it's really happening: the PlayStation 4's recent dominance of the Japanese hardware charts is without doubt coming to a close, but even a weighty drop of about 10,000 sales hasn't been enough to knock Sony's home console off the top spot. You can compare last week's Japanese charts through here Selling through 17,855...
News Japanese Sales Charts: PS4 Begins to Slip as Blockbuster Releases Dry Up
A slippery slope
After weeks of being firmly on top of the Japanese hardware charts, the PlayStation 4's slew of software releases has just about come to a close, and this has, as expected, caused the console's sales to slip. Having said that, Sony's newest black box still managed to hang on to the top spot, but only because New 3DS sales are...
News Japanese Sales Charts: PlayStation 4 and Bloodborne Slaughter the CompetitionÂ
The hunt is over
The PlayStation 4 is basking in the blood of its enemies right now, as it's managed to top the Japanese hardware charts for the fifth week in a row.

Class dismissed
The PlayStation 4's showing no signs of slowing down in its native Japan, as a slew of new releases are keeping the console at the top of the charts.

News Japanese Sales Charts: PlayStation 4 Stays on Top for Second Week Running
Dragon Quest Heroes still dominating software
It's still a tiny bit too early to say, but it's looking like the PlayStation 4 has managed to get something of a foothold in its native Japan.

News Japanese Sales Charts: God Eater 2 Prompts PS Vita Sales to Burst
Deity delicacy
Bandai Namco's hunting reissue God Eater 2: Rage Burst caused PlayStation Vita sales to explode in Japan last week, as Media Create data shows that the handheld moved 35,203 units, up from a dismal 10,901 units the period prior. The game itself sold 234,180 copies on Sony's portable console, but could only muster 37,824 copies on the...
