Xbox One was released in Japan this week and managed to head straight to the top of the hardware chart - but only just. In software Yokai Watch 2 moved back to the top of the charts after a brief break from the limelight last week.
Xbox One - 25,674 (New entry)
3DS XL - 23,624 (Last week - 30,111)
PlayStation Vita - 14,441 (19,578)
Wii U - 7,349 (8,584)
PlayStation 4 - 7,299 (6,502)

3DS - 5,931 (7,404)
PlayStation Vita TV - 910 (1,156)
PSP - 288 (187)
Xbox 360 - 126 (86)
The new console beat the 3DS XL to the top spot by just 2,050 units. By contrast Sony sold more than 320,000 units of the PlayStation 4 in its first two days on sale in Japan.
