Gran Turismo Sport tore up the UK charts earlier this week, and now it's busy doing a victory lap in Japan. The PlayStation 4 exclusive sped straight to number one in the Land of the Rising Sun, shifting just over 150,000 copies. Not a bad result by any means, but the series continues its decline in its native Japan. It was followed by Sammy's most anticipated title, City Shrouded in Shadow, which sold around 50,000 copies.

The Evil Within 2 also made the cut, settling in third place. However, it wasn't able to top the sales of its predecessor, moving just about 43,000 copies. The first game did around 60,000 copies on PlayStation 4 alone -- it did another 60,000 or so on PlayStation 3 -- and at the time of its release back in 2014, that was considered a bit of a flop.

These new PS4 releases didn't really do much for the console itself, though. Hardware sales did jump, but only slightly, to about 31,000 units across the standard model and PS4 Pro.
