monster hunter world ps4 sales.jpg

Nothing can move Monster Hunter: World, which has topped the Japanese software charts for the fifth consecutive week. Capcom's action role-playing title shifted another 54,000 copies on PlayStation 4, meaning that its total retail sales are now closing in on 2 million. Including digital numbers, World's almost at 3 million in Japan alone.

Three other PS4 games made it into the top five, all of them new releases. Girls und Panzer: Dream Tank Match came close to knocking Monster Hunter off its perch with 46,000 copies, while Metal Gear Survive entered in third with a rather 'meh' 31,000 copies. Below that, the latest Senran Kagura title made it with 24,000 copies.

On the hardware side of things, Sony's home console was removed from its throne after seven straight weeks at the top. Combining standard PS4 and PS4 Pro sales, the system shifted around 35,000 units.
