Nintendo platforms getting most of the titles in charts on the road to Christmas.
None of the 13 new games was able to overthrow Pokémon Sun & Moon.
Pokémon Sun & Moon sold a combined 1,742,008 units in Japan on launch week.
There was actually more PS4 titles than 3DS ones on the charts that week.
All the new titles were on Sony platforms. All the re-charted titles were on 3DS.
15 new titles in a single week.
The two games making it back into the charts were on Nintendo 3DS.
On the Wii U front, Paper Mario Color Splash opened at #3.
Nintendo and PlayStation both had the exact same amount of titles in charts on their platforms that week.
All of the 11 brand-new titles of the week were on PlayStation platforms.
Some of the new Happy Price Selection games on 3DS are hanging pretty well in the Japanese charts.
Week-on-week PS4 sales that week went up by 17,120% (from 560 to 96,433).
27 games out of 50 on Nintendo platforms despite any new 3DS or Wii U release.
There were as many games on 3DS in charts that week as there were games on all of Sony's platforms.
I'm kinda wondering what caused PS4 sales in Japan to drop like that during that week.

The 3DS by itself represents exactly half of the charts with 25 games out of 50.
I can guarantee the 3DS is going to cross 21 million sold in Japan next week.
