Even though it was a busy week for new releases, nothing could stop Yo-kai Watch 3 from topping the chart yet again, moving 32,000 copies. The previous #1, Tales of Berseria for PlayStation 4, fell to 2nd in its second week, selling 24,000 copies.
As for those new releases, No Man’s Sky for PS4 debuted in 3rd overall with 22,000 sold. Right behind it was The King of Fighters XIV for PS4 at 21,000 sold. Although there were also numerous other PlayStation games in the top 10, hardware plummeted last week, with the Vita dropping to 9,000 and the PS4 dropping to 6,000 (likely due to a lack of stock ahead of the impending PS4 Slim announcement).
