It's been a big week for PlayStation 4 in Japan, where the platform's two latest and greatest heavy hitters have immediately topped the software charts. Straight in at number one with a whopping 610,000 copies is Kingdom Hearts III, while the Resident Evil 2 remake claimed second place with a very respectable 253,000 copies. The previous week's top seller, Ace Combat 7: Skies Unknown, dropped down to fifth, but still managed to shift an additional 25,000 copies.

But did the release of these new blockbusters boost PlayStation hardware at all? Well, for the first time in a while, the standard PS4 and PS4 Pro saw a jump in sales, moving a combined 53,000 units. That's enough to just beat out the Nintendo Switch -- something that Sony's console hasn't done a long time.
