The PlayStation 4 Slim launches tomorrow in Japan alongside Persona 5, meaning that regular PlayStation 4 sales have fallen off a cliff. The current-gen console managed to shift just 560 units last week, with the PlayStation 3 actually selling more than double that. All eyes are now on next Wednesday's charts, as they'll feature the Slim's opening numbers.

In terms of software, only one new entry made it into the top five, and that was Tokyo Xandu eX+ - an enhanced edition of action role-playing game Tokyo Xandu. On PS4, the upgraded re-release sold through a rather dire 15,069 copies. We need Persona 5, and we need it now.
