A little later than normal on our part - apologies for that - we have the Media Create chart results out of Japan. There's not a huge amount of movement this time around, with new releases outside of Nintendo hardware having a rather limited impact.

Starting with the software top 20, For Honor makes its debut on PS4 with a rather modest launch total. Leading for 3DS in third place are Pokémon Sun and Moon, which continue to merrily shift copies despite sales above three million in Japan alone. Dragon Quest Monsters: Joker 3 Professional is one place down in fourth, though its momentum is tailing off relatively quickly.

In terms of hardware there's relatively little movement, with sales down for most systems. New releases on Sony hardware minimise their dips, while the New 3DS LL (XL) is still comfortably second. Results are below with last week's sales in brackets.

  1. PlayStation 4 – 21,204 (22,282)
  2. New 3DS LL – 16,426 (19,126)
  3. PlayStation Vita – 8,284 (8,479)
  4. PlayStation 4 Pro – 5,999 (6,693)
  5. 2DS – 4,665 (5,226)
  6. New 3DS – 1,203 (1,435)
  7. PlayStation 3 – 500 (473)
  8. Wii U – 491 (543)
  9. Xbox One – 76 (112)

Relatively uneventful results, all told. The figures in two weeks, of course, will reflect the launch of Nintendo Switch and also The Legend of Zelda: Breath of the Wild on both that system and Wii U. Some interesting results still to come.
