A very slow period for Japan coming up with the only game that should surpass 100K in the next four weeks being Yu-Gi-Oh! Rush Duel. 

PS4/PS5's next major title is Tales of Arise launching in a months time, its looking like it will debut below Tales of Berseria which managed to launch with 160K on the PS4 and 74K on the PS3. So far the biggest debut this year on the PS4/PS5 has been Resident Evil: Village which only managed 111K on the PS4 and 38K on the PS5. I expect Arise to end up above 100K on the PS4 but below 30K on the PS5. With the anemic software performance of the PS5 this is a franchise that will need to look at success overseas to make up it's decline in Japan.
