Bloodborne Sales

The PlayStation 4 is basking in the blood of its enemies right now, as it's managed to top the Japanese hardware charts for the fifth week in a row.

A slew of big software releases have kept Sony's system in first place, although that momentum could be slowing down soon now that the big hitters have passed by. Still, Bloodborne carved its way to the summit of the software charts, selling 152,567 units.

What's a little worrying, however, is the fact that One Piece: Pirate Warriors 3 sailed into third, but only on PS3, with the Vita version landing in seventh, and the PS4 edition in eighth – the latter selling less than half of what its last-gen counterpart did. Meanwhile, newcomer Senran Kagura Estival Versus bounced into tenth place on Vita, and twelfth place on the PS4.

Do you reckon that this marks the end of the PS4's winning streak in Japan, or will it be able to hold on to its position? Check out the charts, and then ponder in the comments section below.
