We're afraid that it's yet more disappointing news for Street Fighter V, as its opening Japanese sales figures are in. We already know that the brawler hasn't done especially well here in the UK, and it turns out that it hasn't quite set Japan alight, either. Capcom's latest sold through 41,990 copies on PlayStation 4, which isn't terrible, but you'd expect a bigger splash from such an anticipated release.

The console exclusive was actually beaten out by Attack on Titan, which launched on PS4, PS3, and Vita. Omega Force's adaptation sold best on Sony's handheld, but the new-gen version only shifted around 1000 less copies. Other than that, the software charts remained somewhat standard, with Dragon Quest Builders and Naruto Shippuden: Ultimate Ninja Storm 4 sticking around the top 20.

Meanwhile, on the hardware side of things, PS4 and Vita numbers both enjoyed a small boost, but that's to be expected with the arrival of several new titles.
