Not even PxZ could stop CoD. Keep going GE:R. PS4 at #1 was expected and of course is over 2 million now. DAT Wii U boost.

Damn Japan. COD AND GTA are their gold western games.

PXZ can't top, but 3DS dominates almost the entire chart.

Xbox One ded.

PXZ only got 2-3 days of release counted so it's less than a full weeks sales. One more day counted and it's probably #1

^ Excuses(for any Japanese game considering the dates they are released before the ending of the week). 1st game sold over 85k in 2 days.

In the news, Call of Duty: Black Ops 3 generated $550 million in just the first 3 days and on track to sell 18 million copies by year's end and over 22 million total.

For comparison:

- Halo 5: Guardians generated $400 million in the first week

- Fallout 4 generated $750 million in the first 3 days on 12 million copies, including 1.8 million digital copies
(most games would pray for 1.8 million total copies, let alone just digital)

Yeah, big numbers this holiday season.

Not even Project X Zone 2 could dethrone Call of Duty: Black Ops III from the No. 1 slot.

Not really surprising. COD games are best sellers in Japan. They don't even sell very well for "Western" standards. They sell well for console standards, period. GTA V is the 2nd or 3rd best selling pure Western game in Japan at over 1 million in total. We'll see how well COD does in comparison.
