We're starting to feel bad about asking you lot to give these Japanese charts articles a click - there's just nothing particularly interesting happening in the Land of the Rising Sun when it comes to Sony's systems, and it's probably going to stay that way until the PlayStation 4 gets a few new blockbusters.

The only title worth a mention this week is the latest Ys game on Vita, which entered in second place selling a decent 43,753 copies. This didn't, however, have much of an impact on the handheld's sales, which stayed steady at around 11,400 units. Likewise, the PS4 wasn't able to jump back to the top of the hardware charts, but the current-gen machine still refuses to fall below the 20,000 mark.
