Ace Combat 7: Skies Unknown has started strong in Japan, shooting straight to the top of the software charts on PlayStation 4. The high-flying release shifted just over 202,000 copies on Sony's system, an impressive amount that was more than enough to secure first place.
Elsewhere, the PS4 remaster of Yakuza 4 didn't do so hot, only hitting 18,000 copies, but it still made the top five. The complete edition of Sword Art Online: Fatal Bullet charted in 13th, and the PS4 release of PlayerUnknown's Battlegrounds followed in 14th.
As for hardware, these new PS4 releases did nothing to stimulate console sales. Standard PS4 numbers actually dropped below 10,000 units for the first time in a while, and the Pro only saw very small growth.

In the words of Jesse 'The Body' Ventura - 'That's gotta hurt Mean Gene!'. =D =D =D
@KALofKRYPTON RIP Mean Gene.
Didn’t realise Ace Combat was that big in Japan.
Also interesting to see Tales of Vesperia PS4 outlegging it’s Switch counterpart.
@Fight_Teza_Fight It's the melodrama - they can't help it...
Xbots: "The Vita is dead."
Okay.
Wow respectable sales for Ace Combat. And damn PS4 is doing terrible over there. I guess, it‘s demand is saturated.
@JAMes-BroWWWn it’s gonna increase cus RE2R & KH3.
I wonder what the margin of error is and if Xbox is under it 😕
It is worth it? I just played (i think) a ps1-ps2 version, decades ago...also, does this one got multiplayer (local) somehow?
I guess, that X Boxes were bought by tourists.
