PlayStation 4: 2.35 million in a year in Japan

The PlayStation 4‘s Japanese performance is commendable even in its home country. On the Japanese market, the only main rival is the Wii U as the Xbox One is having close to no sales whatsoever.

PlayStation 4 sold over 2.35 million consoles since the Japanese launch (February 22, 2014 – 2.356.098 consoles, to be exact) – after a weak start, Sony‘s console stood up and began to perform brilliantly. Last week, 32181 PS4s were sold, making it the top selling console.

These are the top 20 best selling games in Japan.

 

  1.     Metal Gear Solid 5: The Phantom Pain – 425,971
  2.     Knack – 400,888
  3.     Dragon Quest Heroes – 327,019
  4.     Call of Duty: Black Ops 3 – 310,238
  5.     Bloodborne – 209,985
  6.     Fallout 4 – 206,712
  7.     Grand Theft Auto 5 – 196,795
  8.     Star Wars: Battlefront – 187,434
  9.     Dragon Quest Builders – 170,168
  10.     Metal Gear Solid 5: Ground Zeroes – 155,598
  11.     The Witcher 3 – 149,337
  12.     Yakuza 0 – 146,510
  13.     Final Fantasy Type-0 HD – 140,048
  14.     Yakuza Ishin! – 134,010
  15.     Yakuza Kiwami – 131,205
  16.     Destiny – 125,900
  17.     Battlefield 4 – 113,928
  18.     Battlefield Hardline – 113,061
  19.     Call of Duty: Advanced Warfare – 102,716
  20.     Watch Dogs – 99,323

 

Knack is very high up in the charts; it’s because the bundled games were also counted and upon the launch of the PS4, Knack was the game included in the boxes in February 2014. Yakuza games are also highly ranked, but the same cannot be said of Destiny. (Perhaps this is also a reason Activision had to fire some people!)
