Well would you look at that, a reasonably important PlayStation 4 release has made it to the top of the Japanese software charts - and it's about bloody time. Bandai Namco's Tales of Berseria entered the charts with sales of 173,537 copies on Sony's current-gen console and 76,186 copies on PS3. At first glance, those figures seem pretty good, until you realise that other recent Tales titles - including Tales of Xillia and Tales of Zestiria - have opened with better numbers on PS3 alone.

However, even with Berseria's relative success, the PS4 wasn't able to make the jump back to the top of the hardware charts, and we don't expect this positioning to change for at least another few weeks - not when the PS4 Slim and 'Neo' are both looming dangerously close on the horizon.
