The Media Create charts for Japan have emerged once again, and this week includes a couple of fresh arrivals on Nintendo hardware.

Star Fox Zero is the most high-profile new entry, though it loses out to One Piece: Burning Blood on PS4 and Vita. Combining the double pack (which includes Star Fox Guard) with the solo copies we have the Wii U exclusive in fourth place, though separately the options are 5th and 8th. The Yo-kai Watch / Romance of the Three Kingdoms cross-over is still doing well in third place, while Terraria snuck into the top 10 on 3DS; results are below with lifetime sales in brackets.

  20. [PS4] Far Cry Primal (Ubisoft, 04/07/16) – 4,303 (38,410)

Moving on to hardware it's a largely quiet week, with minimal movement across systems. New 3DS LL (XL) hangs on in second place, while the Wii U declined slightly despite the arrival of Star Fox Zero; results are below with last week's sales in brackets.

  1. PlayStation 4 – 20,589 (20,257)
  2. New 3DS LL – 13,917 (14,573)
  3. PlayStation Vita – 12,678 (12,337)
  4. Wii U – 5,968 (6,091)
  5. New 3DS – 3,268 (3,677)
  6. PlayStation 3 – 1,153 (1,220)
  7. 3DS – 939 (1,211)
  8. 3DS LL – 137 (196)
  9. Xbox One – 101 (142)

That's it for another week of sales in Japan. All told it was an unremarkable week, and it's perhaps not too surprising that Star Fox Zero had a relatively modest debut.
