Sales of video game hardware in Japan for the week between October 12 to October 18 slowed down even further from the week before with only Xbox and New 3DS LL machines seeing positive growth for the week. The rest in the chart have slumped, especially sales of PS4 Pro which have seen the worst drop.
It is thanks to the wonderful folks over at Famitsu that we get to see these charts on a weekly basis, so be sure to head over to their site here and show them lots of love! Also, the data you find below is accessible via Famitsu’s post here.
