gundam breaker 3 sales.jpg

Ah, nothing like a good Gundam game to shake up the Japanese hardware and software charts, eh? Gundam Breaker 3 blasted into first and second place on PlayStation 4 and Vita respectively, selling through a reasonably impressive 141,219 copies in total - now we just need to hope that the mech-'em-up has found enough success to warrant an overseas launch. Elsewhere, Life Is Strange debuted in the Land of the Rising Sun, claiming eighth place in the charts with 12,111 copies sold on Sony's home console.

Meanwhile, on the hardware side of things, Vita leapt to the top of the pile, presumably boosted by Gundam Breaker 3 and the latest Atelier title. The diminutive device managed to jump by around 12,000 units, while the PS4 stayed steady in second place, shifting 28,863 units. Not a bad week for PlayStation, then.
