Japanese Sales Chart: PlayStation Games Dominate in Software

Not only did a Western version of Hatsune Miku: Project DIVA f 2nd get announced last week, but the game also took home #1 and #3 on the Japanese sales chart, with both the PS Vita and PS3 versions combining for over 158,000 in sales.

All around it was a good week for PlayStation when it comes to the software side of things, with 15 of the 20 spots taken up by PlayStation games. Really, the only bad spot for PlayStation was the PS4, which only had 1 game in the top 20, and that was Metal Gear Solid V: Ground Zeroes (which plummeted by over 90,000 units). The PS4 was the only system that didn’t get an increase this week. Japanese gamers were scrambling to buy their new hardware before the national tax increase, so sales bumps were expected. It didn’t work out that way for PS4, however.

As always though, the Nintendo 3DS was the overall #1 in hardware, but the PS Vita still sold an impressive 39,752. The PS4, however, fell to 23,327.

Here’s how each system sold, along with the top 20 selling games in Japan between March 24th – 30th, 2014, according to Media Create:
