Japanese sales: FF Type-0 HD keeps PlayStation on top

nintendo-japan

We’ve become so used to seeing the Nintendo 3DS dominating the Japanese charts that the past few weeks where PlayStation products have been at the top two spots respectively is strange. That trend continues this week with the release of Final Fantasy Type-0 HD, which helped the PlayStation 4 claim the top spot this week. PS Vita follows in the second spot, but both the New Nintendo 3DS LL and the Wii U follow despite having no significant releases this week.

In fact, PlayStation products dominate the top ten selling software charts this week with the exception of the final two spots, with number nine being occupied by Mario Party 10 and number ten going to a Nintendo 3DS title. Sony is certainly stepping up their game when it comes to new releases in the Japanese region, but with several high profile releases on the way for the Wii U, perhaps we’ll see it at the top of the charts when Xenoblade Chronicles X drops in Japan.
