With the end of the holidays several new games have launched in Japan. Topping the charts are two highly anticipated titles: the J-RPG "Kingdom Hearts HD 2.8 Final Chapter Prologue" and the visual novel "Danganronpa V3: Killing Harmony."
An official chart of hardware sales and software sales has been released by 4Gamer (via Gematsu). The chart shows that not only do the two games top the charts but "Danganronpa V3" takes both the second and third spots since it has a port on the PS4 and the PS Vita.
"Kingdom Hearts HD 2.8" will be the final release of remastered content and spin-off materials before Square-Enix launches "Kingdom Hearts 3." The former contains a remastered port of "Kingdom Hearts 3D: Dream Drop Distance" as well as a CGI movie and a prologue game titled "Kingdom Hearts 0.2: Birth By Sleep - A Fragmentary Passage."
Most of the other games in the chart have seen a decrease in sales. However, "Yokai Watch 3: Sakiyuki" only saw a 2 percent drop and the PS4 version of "Grand Theft Auto V" saw an increase of 6 percent, Attack of the Fanboy reported.
"Pokemon Sun and Moon" for the Nintendo 3DS have taken the fourth spot of software sales, having been on the top position for several weeks since their launch.
In terms of hardware, the Playstation 4 managed to top the sales and is the only console to have seen an improvement in sales. Nintendo 3DS sales dropped by more than half of last week's sales and the Wii U only managed to sell 1,169 units.
The Wii U is expected to continue to dwindle now that Nintendo has officially ended all support for the system in favor of the new and upcoming Nintendo Switch. The Switch will launch worldwide on March 3.
