It's been another relatively quiet week for PlayStation in Japan, with only one new title making it into the top five. Rhythm game Hastsune Miku: Project Diva Future Tone DX shifted around 35,000 copies on PlayStation 4, which isn't great, but it's not especially bad, either.
Wolfenstein II: The New Colossus also entered the charts, but only just. The shooter sequel barely made it into the top 20, scraping just 3500 copies on Sony's system.
Speaking of which, the PS4 itself is still sitting steady at around 27,000 units across both the standard model and the PS4 Pro. It'll be interesting to see whether sales spike at all over the holidays.

Those Switch numbers are insane!
Hope Sony are watching. PS5Go.
@Fight_Teza_Fight Sony are too busy looking at their record-breaking Black Friday sales. (They're also up year-over-year in Japan, by the way.)
@Fight_Teza_Fight Sony? Handheld? laughs like that one evil professor in Cuphead
@Fight_Teza_Fight Ewww no..
@get2sammyb I'm sure they are, but I also think they are monitoring the Switch's success.
@Derpie1 I'm genuinely playing Metal Gear Solid 2 on my Vita at work. Nice & discreet 😎. My Switch stays at home, it's just too big.
It's a long-established fact that the Japanese LOVE their mobile/handheld gaming devices. That would explain why the Vita is still doing relatively well there when it's pretty much dead in other parts of the world. I expect to see even bigger Switch numbers when Nintendo inevitably release the Switch XL Plus Extreme
Xbox One X still looks like it's 'selling out' there 😂
@Fight_Teza_Fight perhaps they'll come up with a better integrated approach to Remote Play than the PS4/Vita was, sure, but I don't see Sony abandoning overall power to chase portability, especially with XB1X out there.
@Turismo4GT I agree. I don't think Sony will sacrifice power for portability. Could see them introduce separate hardware.
PS5 2020, PS5Go 2023, PS5Pro 2025. I'll buy all 3.
Wishful thinking I know.
LOL Those Switch numbers.
Seems like it dominated both Japan and the U.S. this last week in terms of sales.
Sony is definitely still king in the U.K., though.
@Fight_Teza_Fight
Wasn't PSP Go a big bomba? Why would they go back for another round?
Put that away, no thank you.
Switch = Everything combined and then some, I am surprised given the company behind it.
Otherwise, there's nothing worth talking about.
@Fight_Teza_Fight you know, now that this 'iterative hardware' is a thing, I think I'll wait until the PS5 Pro comes out. Definitely won't be jumping in Day 1.
Pokemon, Mario, Zelda nothing new there.
Omedetou Miku chan! Hopefully that gets us closer to Mirai 3.
Huge Switch numbers this week.
@Punished_Boss_84 PSP Go was a digital only device. I think he just meant a "portable home console" ala Switch.
Insane Switch numbers and by all accounts still selling out across Japan, be very interesting to see how much of a bump, asuming there is one, PS4 gets in the coming weeks compared to it's constant numbers of recent months.
@NintendoFan4Lyf yeah I was surprised to see cod ww2 and Wolfenstein on the list, I thought realistic shooters weren’t popular in Japan.
Nice to see the ps vita number over 5k. Wow those switch numbers. And the ps4 numbers are great for being so deep into it life cycle.
A hybrid ps5 would be the perfect system.
PS3 & Wii U still selling.
@sinalefa I'd buy a Switch for Mirai 3.
