Call of Duty: Black Ops III utterly dominated the software chart, demonstrating once more that the franchise has a very solid following in Japan. It also pushed the PS4 hard, giving it a kick over 30,000 units sold again.

It wasn't even a case of lack of competition, as Treyarch's game swatted Disney Magical World 2  for 3DS down to second place, selling twice as many copies on PS4 alone, and that's a very popular franchise in the archipelago of the rising sun.

Super Mario Maker and Splatoon keep on trucking unperturbed, even if the Wii U dropped under 10,000 weekly units sold, as the lack of strong new titles is making it run a bit out of steam.
