Call of Duty isn't just a sales juggernaut here in the West; the series has been selling reasonably well for years in Japan, and Call of Duty: Infinite Warfare is looking to continue that trend. Activision's latest blockbuster entered the most recent Japanese software charts in first place, selling through 105,764 copies on PlayStation 4. It'll be interesting to see how far that number drops next week.

Securing second place, meanwhile, was Dragon Ball XenoVerse 2, which shifted 66,035 copies on Sony's current-gen system. Not a massive amount, but it's just about on par with the first game's sales across both PlayStation 4 and PlayStation 3 back in early 2015.

On the hardware side of things, the PS4 continues to sit pretty at the top. The black box moved 32,041 units, again hovering around that 30,000 mark. Not too shabby when you consider that previously, the PS4 was quite happy to stick around 20,000 sales week in, week out.
