Japanese Sales Charts: PS4, PS4 Pro Continue to Sell Well Over the Holidays

Nintendo killed it over there this holiday.

PS4 game sales are probably spread out over a lot of different releases, judging from those over 65 thousand hardware sales.

For those keeping track, the NS is around 1 million behind the 3DS in Japan compared to the same point in the 3DS life cycle.

x box x 32.wow even magic Johnson can't help the sh😱Xbox.haha😂.word up son😄

And the top selling PS4 game in Japan is .... The Idolmaster! Huh?! And the next best is ... Atelier Lydie & Suelle?! I’ve never even heard of these games.

68000 PS4s sold/week would be pretty impressive IF the Switch wasn't a thing.

Sales are on the up, but nothing will stop the Switch in Japan.

Hopefully Sony come out swinging next gen with a high profile JRPG launch title .

@Fight_Teza_Fight
What's crazy is the PS4 worldwide sales numbers despite being pretty much non-existent in Japan compared to past PlayStation consoles. For this gen anyway, the decision to focus on the West paid off.

@playstation1995
It was only a matter of time before the..... ps3 beat it again! Lol

The switch is awesome no doubt. I wonder how Sony will respond?

@themcnoisy By making a Switch -ripoff - playstation swap...

@3MonthBeef it’s cheaper!

I'm surprised Microsoft even bothered launching the Xbone X in Japan.

@Ralizah haha ha.word up son micro you are so soft should just give up already in Japanese.word up son

What's a xbox?

All I could do when I saw the Switch numbers was...😳 Congrats to Nintendo!

@Th3solution hearing that makes me sad. An Idol game in the top 10 on Team Playstation. 🙁

@premko1 as if they need to respond when they're doing so well worldwide.

@TheHatredDMC What makes you sad? The fact that I had no idea what “The Idolmaster: Stella stage” was or that the game is in the top ten?

Splatoon is still putting in ludicrous numbers. Monster Hunter will no doubt have a huge impact as always.

wow, switch 269K units in a month, up from 221K last month. was wondering whether ps4 ever posted these (ridiculously) high numbers in it's charts? still, i'm not a fan of the switch - there are simply no games i want to play on it. i'm guessing everyone that has a 3ds is simply replacing it with a switch as it seems a worthy upgrade. everything seems so mediocre compared to ps4 exclusives and upcoming titles.

@YummyHappyPills thanks...even more ridiculous numbers then... don't think ps4 ever hit these highs on a weekly basis...

I love my PS4 people but the Switch is just very impressive in many ways. From the library for year one to the portable capabilities to the heap of classics it already has. A far cry from the Wii U days for sure!

2018 is fully stacked for PlayStation Exclusives, The 3 Final Big Exclusives in 2019 are Ghost Of Tsushima, Death Stranding And The Last Of Us 2. PS5 will launch Fall 2019.

@Grawlog Oh yeah, that price point thing really hurt Wii U too, and the climate was all wrong for Wii U. We should all just "please understand" how the Wii U and NS turned out.

NS has certainly hit the nail well in Japan. Monster Hunter and SotC will be high up for PS in the next couple of months, thats all its got, so expect Nintendo ruling Japan for a while.

@naruball they do, because they can do more money.

@Grawlog But when you make excuses for the NS, you are a Nintendo apologist. That has always been my problem with NS fans.

Enjoy what you like, but don't try to make it something it isn't.

@Grawlog "I own consoles from every manufacturer and don't play the one that has the shiniest branding; I play what's fun."

You know what, that's me too! Guess our conception of what's fun and what's all branding and nothing to back it up is different.

@Mahe
I love how you paint yourself as some "pure and objective gamer" when all you do at NintendoLife is spout objectively false and fanboyish gibberish (NS is "struggling", it's lineup is "garbage", Mario Kart 8 Deluxe is a "flop", etc)

Hilarious.

Anyways, pretty decent PS4 sales when all things considered, despite the fact that this was obviously Nintendo's week. Monster Hunter World should rake in big numbers come January.

@Grawlog Nintendolife has gone to the dogs in how biased they are these days, and the fanboys aren't any better. I still visit the site sometimes to check on 2DS news, and may deliver a reminder that their Nintendo fan glasses aren't showing everything. Sometimes they go as far as leaving big news completely unreported because the news doesn't fit their bias.

@Averagewriter The Xbox One may not be killer numbers but I wouldn't rely on Japan's number to be an indicator of sales between a domestic product and a foreign product. The Xbox brand isn't well like there at all so of course Sony and Nintendo will win there, then you're comparing it to the Vita, a portable gaming device, something that's strong in Japan but a flop everywhere else.
