Japanese Sales Chart: Big Week for PS4 as it Dominates Hardware and Software

Thanks to a trio of big new releases, the PlayStation 4 stayed atop the hardware charts by moving 46,000 units last week, while also owning three of the top four spots in software. In fact, it was a big week all around for PlayStation, with the top eight games of the week either on PS4, PlayStation 3, or PlayStation Vita.

Starting things off is Final Fantasy Type-0 HD for PS4, which debuted to over 92,000 copies sold. Resident Evil Revelations 2 then takes up 2nd (PS3) and 4th (PS4) place, combining to move over 115,000 units. Battlefield Hardline, meanwhile, performed far better on PS4 than PS3, selling 98,000 units across both.

Here’s how each system sold, along with the top 20 selling retail games in Japan from March 16 – 22, 2015, according to Media Create:
