3DS and PS4 dominate.
Yo-Kai watch, even if the boom isn't as past years, doesn't seem (at first) in the numbers.
Star Ocean 5 numbers are great, but I feel that they aren't content as of the rating stuff.
From Pokken to below nothing special in sales to be honest.

I'm very thrilled that Yōkai Sangokushi is faring so well!  The gameplay of it seems quite fun.

I mean, to be fair, that game only came out, like, 2 within last week's sales, and it's a spin off game that was advertised not too long ago.
I'd give it time.
Yokai Watch Busters did similar numbers when it came out, and even then, it now has over 2 million in print over there.

To get an idea, posted these just a couple days ago:
Japan's video game console industry is getting smaller each year:
- In 2014 the traditional Japanese games market for home and portable consoles sunk to a 24-year low. In 2015 it fell even further, to a 26-year low, putting it on par with the last days of the NES.
Although there’s no data on overall digital sales, physical software sales were down 16 per cent on 2014 and hardware sales were down 8.5 per cent.
There’s no mystery as to what is going on though, as for years now Japan has been dominated by mobile gaming. In 2015 the console market fell 13 per cent to a net value of £1.89 billion but the mobile market was up 18 per cent to a whooping £4.0 billion.
Which given Japan used to be considered the spiritual home of console gaming is pretty upsetting, especially if you don’t like mobile gaming. But certainly explains why companies like Konami are all but abandoning the industry.
