In the last full week before the PlayStation 4 Slim launches, PS4 sales in Japan dropped to just 560, putting it 328 units ahead of the Xbox One. With the PS4 at such low numbers, it was another easy victory for the New 3DS LL, which moved 17,100 units, while the PlayStation Vita finished in second with 10,300 sold.
Following another first place by Yo-kai Watch 3, the software chart sees a few new entries, including Tokyo Xanadu eX+ for PS4, which moved 15,000 copies and placed in 2nd. A little further down, F1 2016 for PS4 debuted in 8th, selling 5,400 copies.
