It's been another quiet week in Japan for PlayStation and the market in general, as a dearth of new blockbuster releases ensured that the software charts looked particularly dismal. The PlayStation 4 saw three fresh entries in Divinity: Original Sin - Enhanced Edition, République, and Skullgirls 2nd Encore, but none of them boasted sales figures that are really worth talking about.

Dark Souls III, meanwhile, remained in the top three, but recently released Star Ocean 5: Integrity and Faithlessness continued to sink like a stone, selling through just 3,495 copies. That brings the action role-playing game's total to 126,903. which must sting for Square Enix.

Despite all of this, however, Sony's current-gen console remained at the top of the hardware charts, refusing to slip below the 20,000 mark once again.
