PS4 titles have pretty much exited the top ten, though the PS3 version of Yakuza: Ishin managed to sell 10,034 units (with lifetime sales at 222,147 units). Pokemon X/Y is inching ever closer to selling 4 million units within its lifetime in Japan with 10,106 units sold this week and a lifetime total of 3,994,938 units. inFamous: Second Son is due to arrive on March 21st so it could have a bearing on the console’s success in Japan but we’ll have to wait and see.
