PS4 dominates Japan charts

PS4 games made up half of the Top 20 in Japan last week.

The No.1 game of the week was Knack, which was bundled with the console. The highest charting new ‘non-bundle’ title is Yakuza: Ishin on PS3, with the PS4 version at No.3.

3DS still factors strongly in the charts, with Dragon Quest Monsters 2 at No. 4. The game has now sold over 634,000 games in the country.
