Another week, another first place finish for PlayStation software in Japan. Following on from Persona 5 Royal's impressive performance last week, Death Stranding has ascended to the summit of the latest sales charts according to Famitsu.

The PS4 exclusive moved around 186,000 physical copies, which was more than enough to secure the number one spot. Death Stranding landed in second place here in the UK, so it's clearly enjoying some initial success. We'll have to wait and see if Kojima's latest can keep it up, but we reckon Sony's got another hit on its hands here.
