Spider-Man is showing off his amazing spider-strength in Japan, where Marvel's Spider-Man has secured its third consecutive week at the top of the software charts. We can't remember the last time a Western-made title stuck around this long at number one, so Spidey's success is super impressive. The title now sits at 244,000 copies in Japan, so it's done very well for itself.
However, Spider-Man's continued reign hasn't done much to stimulate PlayStation 4 sales. The console is still stuck at around 16,000 units across the standard model and the PS4 Pro, and it seems as though nothing outside of a huge Japanese blockbuster will be able to increase that number at this point.

スパイダーマン
Vita is the only top 5 piece of hardware that had a week-to-week increase.
You can’t kill the unkillable.
Goooo, Spidey!
But what's up with those Steins sales? Is that a new game?
I finished the main story of Spiderman last night. It's straight up one of the most fun games I've ever played. Might even be a contender for my favorite game this year, and that's saying something in a year that has God of War. Combat and traversal are perfect. Also it's better than any of the movies...
Unfortunately the non Spidey sections got on my nerves. Only stain on an otherwise perfect game for me. They just felt awkwardly out of place next to the rest of the game. I would like an option to skip them after the first play through of the game.
And speaking of that, I really hope they add in NG+. God of War's NG+ is superb.
Especially since I love the concussion blast gadget and want to have it from the start of the game. It's like having force push! XD
Sony and Marvel, please let Insomniac do Iron Man and Dr. Strange games next. That would be incredible.
@naruball port of a PC game.
@Derpie1 thanks.
Dafudge? O_o I thought, games like "Atelier: Alchemists of Arland 1, 2, and 3 DX" would sell better on Switch. The Nintendo version didn't even make it into the charts.
I know everyone is loving Spiderman but give tomb raider a go it's quality
Minecraft at #3? That's nuts.
Torna being #11 isn't bad considering it was $40 on cart, $30 as part of the season pass, only collectors bought the box. (Just in case anybody wanted to jump on a "NEW" Switch game coming in 11th.)
