fifa 17 ps4 trailer.jpg

FIFA 17 had a sort-of-decent opening week in Japan, selling through 57,012 copies on PlayStation 4 and topping the software charts. For the sake of comparing, PES 2017: Pro Evolution Soccer currently sits at 90,575 copies on Sony's current-gen console, so with a few more weeks under its belt, EA's latest entry could end up matching that. Elsewhere, Persona 5 is still sitting pretty in second place.

When it comes to hardware, the PS4 has retained its crown for another week, although sales did drop again, leaving the machine at 36,251 units. The release of the Slim model has definitely had an impact over the last few weeks, but we're now expecting numbers to continue to fall and, in the relatively near future, settle around that 20,000 mark once again.
