Japan PS4 PlayStation 4 Sony 1

The low stock Nintendo Switch situation has opened the door for the PlayStation 4 to return to the top of the Japanese hardware charts – albeit with relatively unimpressive figures all told. Combined sales of the PS4 Slim and PS4 Pro propelled Sony’s console back to the summit, with several lower-profile releases invading the charts.

Final Fantasy XIV: Stormblood was less than 20 units behind ARMS in the software charts, but if you factor in its Complete Edition it was comfortably the best-selling game of the week. PlayStation VR exclusive Farpoint did fine in fourth position, while God Wars: Future Past also charted on both PS4 and Vita. Elsewhere, LocoRoco Remastered just about squeezed in in 20th place.

The full list of hardware and software sales are included below.
