And here is the hardware chart.

  1. Switch: 65,958
  2. PS4: 11,792
  3. PS4 Pro: 7,892
  4. New 2DS XL: 3,358
  5. PS Vita: 1,767
  6. New 3DS XL: 1,254
  7. 2DS: 142
  8. Xbox One X: 55
  9. Xbox One: 13

While the Nintendo Switch keeps selling really well after the Holiday season, shrinking the PS4’s installed base advantage down to 440,000 units, the top of the software chart is occupied by two games on Sony’s console.

Jump force enjoys a pretty solid launch, even if perhaps a bit on the average side compared to the popularity of the franchises it includes.

On the other hand, Catherine: Full Body can be defined as a winner. Japanese gamers are normally very indifferent to remasters and partial remakes (unless we’re talking about super-popular franchises). As a niche game, Catherine sold over 60,000 copies between PS4 and PS Vita, and that’s certainly flattering given the nature of the title.
