While Wii U's global sales may not instill all that much faith in Nintendo gamers, the company's console is doing a whole heck of a lot better than PlayStation 4 in Japan.

According to last week's hardware sales for the the territory (courtesy of Media Create), Wii U sold more than double that of Sony's next-gen box. A mere 5,470 PS4s were sold while Nintendo moved a far more impressive 13,598 units.

Here's the full rundown of Japan's hardware sales last week:

3DS LL: 33,172
Vita: 17,084
Wii U: 13,598
3DS: 7,873
PS3: 6,486
PS4: 5,470
Vita TV: 1,344

Xbox 360: 151

What will it take for Sony to win over its home audience? Final Fantasy XV? Kingdom Hearts III? Those are still quite a ways off from release….
