PlayStation 4 – 52,507 (43,808) +19.86%

Switch – 43,027 (37,500) + 14.74%

3DS – 12,115 (16,855) - 28.12%

PlayStation Vita – 4,256 (4,388) -3.01%

Xbox One – 1,388 (113) + 1128.32%

Xbox explosion! But still dead last. 3DS seems to be fading away slowly.

Xbox probably got a boost due to people not finding PS4s for MH, in the end it's the same game, it'll even run better on XboX

Well, I gotta disagree with this as MONSTER HUNTER WORLD is PS4 exclusive in Japan.

OMG Splatoon 2 has not left the Top 10 since it released back in July.

Xenoblade still holding out, very well.

Dissidia had a big drop, but it was to be expected.

It seems like most of the Japs gamers are not even bother to do so. Furthermore, the Western copy don't even comes with Japanese subtitles

Xbox x got its first proper restock since launch and it's probably people getting it for the xbox x version of mhw. The USA version of this includes the Japanese language.

Ps4 ruling the hardware chart again this week. It's having supply issues too. Ps4 Pro sold out on amazon Japan. Great to see the monster Hunter effect already. Hyped for next week.

They can but why would they even bother importing? It will be ready available for PS4.
Also, those people would be left out while their peers and friends are doing co-op while he is stuck playing with foreigners.
So I don't see the point in importing it. TBH.
