Star Ocean 5: Integrity and Faithlessness has enjoyed a decent opening in Japan on PlayStation 4. Square Enix's action role-playing game entered the software charts in second place, selling through a reasonably respectable 113,022 copies. The PlayStation 3 version isn't due out until later this month, so it'll be interesting to see how the last-gen edition does a little further down the line.
Elsewhere, Dark Souls III added to its already impressive tally, shifting a further 33,406 units and staying in the top five. Its total sales now sit at 243,547 copies.
As for the hardware charts, the PS4 continues its reign at the top, with weekly sales refusing to budge from around the 30,000 mark. The Vita took another fall, however, ending up in third place and selling 17,153 units.

Those Wii U numbers......................
Good to see the PS4 going strong though, home consoles are clearly not dead in Japan.
Unfortunately I heard many bad things about Star Ocean: it seems rather short for being a JRPG, the post-game offers just fights against bosses, a world made of few empty arenas... Let's hope at least in NiNo Kuni 2...
Is Japan getting R&C anytime soon? I checked google but could only find the movie release in August. U4 does looks like a global release in May.
So how is PS4 doing at 30k? I remember several people saying the price drop in Japan wouldn't matter b/c after a small bounce it would go back to what it was selling before, only I can't remember what it was before? 20k or 25k maybe?
Yokai Watch still beat it.
@Riririn If there's a new Yokai Watch or Dragon Quest every other game may as well not show up!
Come on Star Ocean V!
I am so excited for this game- debating on getting the Collector's Edition
Still surprised to see Splatoon in the top 20 after all this time.
If PS4 is doing numbers like these on a normal week, what will happen when titles like Dragon Quest Heroes 2 hit?
To be fair, that is in May, which is usually a slow period for hardware sales... but who knows?
@rjejr The PS4 has started to do better in recent times, settling around the 30k mark which is an improvement over what it was doing a while back. That said, 30k isn't a massive amount when compared to the numbers of older consoles. The market's shrunk - not much more you can do!
@ShogunRok "not much more you can do!"
But you can do a lot less. Better to compare it to the newer consoles then, not the "older ones".
PlayStation 4 – 30,081 (34,377)
Wii U – 3,541 (4,545)
Xbox One – 207 (55)
