Hardware numbers are perhaps the most impressive, with the 3DS and the PS4 selling like hotcakes (or should I say ramen bowls? Baked Sweet potatoes?). The 3DS and PS4 units that found a loving Japanese home were a total of 176,562 and 100,238 units respectively, obliterating their sales in the previous year's christmas week, which were 154,818 and 53,023 respectively.

Unfortunately, Media Create reports that if you count the two weeks before Christmas, the Wii U's early demise is still felt, with hardware sales amounting to 85.17% of last year's, and software sales reaching only 88.39% of the copies moved in 2015.
