It's taken quite a few weeks, but PlayStation's finally managed to get a couple of titles to the top of the Japanese software charts. The ridiculously named Kingdom Hearts HD 2.8 Final Chapter Prologue jumped straight into first place with sales of 137,797 copies. Not a huge amount, but certainly a solid opening. Behind that was Danganronpa V3: Killing Harmony, which sold 76,166 copies on Vita, and 40,006 copies on PlayStation 4.

Speaking of Sony's current-gen console, the PS4 retained its lead in the hardware charts, even though sales slumped compared to the previous week. This is probably partly due to the fact that the holiday sales period is now well and truly over. Still, 39,166 units isn't bad.
