It’s been a busy week for the Japanese video game sales charts as there has been a number of new releases. As expected it is Final Fantasy Type-0 which has claimed the top spot, fending off titles such as Resident Evil: Revelations 2 and Battlefield Hardline. Interestingly, Battlefield Hardline entered the Japanese charts at number three, which isn’t a bad debut at all for a first person shooter. Anyway, here’s the best-selling software and hardware this week in Japan.

Weird…. Battlefield and Japan in one sentence.
Maybe the Japanese are finally embracing western made games?
What do you mean “finally”? This isn’t a good thing.
I’m glad we have the arbiter of what’s good and what isn’t such as yourself.
That’s funny. I know about that video already, but it always makes me laugh. :D
LOLOL ROLMAO
Great week for week for playstation.
I just bought ps4
I still think Remastered sounds really weird. Hey guys! I got mastered yesterday! And I’m probably gonna get mastered tomorrow too. You should come over, then we can get mastered together.
XD Wut?
I’m gonna master you all the way to the door and then off my lawn, ya scoundrel!
No pc games? What a bummer
Nobody cares about PC game sales. They are irrelevance as they act as one big international market.
Hope that digimon game comes to the u.s
what the fuck wtf Xbox One – 344? imposible. :'(
Any growth at all while slow, is growth to be trifled with. One or my friends in Japan is obsessed with America. BBQ, COD, Bruce Willus, Comic Books… Xboxes… He’s a strange one indeed
No. It’s not. There are no games on the system. Just westaboo poop.
am not a weeaboo am a otaku
PlayStation is taking over!
I wonder when xb1s will be pulled from Japans retail market.
………………
Next week BloodBorne will be #1.It’s so amazing and looks so beautiful. #gameoftheyear
mewtwo. Well save Wii U. Come on daddy sakurai
hahaha.
No.
Nice try….
Vita seems to be doing well in Japan
The 2016 Kia Optima got redesigned to improve sales from 12k to 16K . Kia knows that the auto business is always changing and keeps updating their products on saftey, performance and bext generation Technolgy. Nintendo just perfered to make prodcuts already available and just make it more powerful against products already out in the market. That’s why it’s sell suck. That’s why Kia motors increase sales YTD compared to last year. The 2017 Kia Cadenza is currently in R&D. It is waiting for the Maxima, and next generation Ford Taurus. Thats how you run a business.

Always interesting to see 3DS selling more, but I guess they just had that new version come out.
