Yakuza 6 PS4 PlayStation 4 1

It's been a decent period for the PlayStation 4 in its home nation, and that continued this week with the release of Yakuza 6 and The Last Guardian. The long-awaited latter title actually did unexpectedly well, shifting some 82,260 units – a not exactly awe-inspiring sum, but much better than we anticipated. Fumito Ueda's fantasy even outpaced Final Fantasy XV's second week, which saw an 88 per cent decline compared to its debut.

As alluded earlier, Yakuza 6 topped the charts, registering 218,168 units – a decent tally, but a big decline compared to previous numbered entries in the series. Elsewhere, Minecraft: PlayStation Vita Edition continued its slow and steady climb to one million units, while Watch Dogs 2 slipped down the best sellers list into seventh. PS4 hardware continued to perform well, meanwhile, adding another 92,717 units to its install base. It's now closing in on four million units domestically.
