ps4 sales japan 5 million.jpg

The PlayStation 4 has passed the five million units sold mark in its native Japan, which is a relatively impressive milestone for a home console in the Land of the Rising Sun these days. We suppose that congratulations are in order.

And boy are we glad, because there's bugger all else to write about from a PlayStation perspective this time around. As expected, Splatoon 2 dominates the latest software charts, causing the Nintendo Switch to surge to the top of the hardware charts. Final Fantasy XII: The Zodiac Age managed to hang on in the top five on Sony's current-gen console, but apart from that, there's really not much to see.
